There is a bus from Port Authority that leaves at 5:30 and arrives at 8:02
in Ellenville where we could pick you up. Let us know if this is the best
way for you to travel and we will save dinner for you!
Anyone driving who has extra space in their car let us know so that we may
organize carpooling.
There is a NJ Transit Train that runs to Middletown about 40 minutes away,
but we are unable to organize service to pick people up from there at this
time. Possibly in the future?
