Its mostly inaccessible by public transportation, so we will rely on carpooling to get people there. If you can offer a ride, especially from NYC, pleasecontact usor post on our Facebook event wall (coming soon) for offering and asking for rides.Directions:51 Drakestown Road is actually the number of the residenceacross fromthe Goodland entrance. Goodlands actual address is50Drakestown Road, but we find 51 works better on Google maps. The GL entrance is generally unmarked and without a gate, so look for the stone pillars and signs that say Private. Were working on getting a YNA banner to hang at the entrance. As you drive in youll see a green lawn on the right and the Goodland sign. Continue up to the main house. Theres a parking lot on the right and the YNA camping area is in the field in front.Checking In:Office hours are from 9am to 6pm, but you can arrive at any time.Youll park and then register at the office at the back side of the house if its open. GL will give you a wristband to show you paid for your stay (along with your meal tickets if you purchased any). For Friday night arrivals: the office will be closed, but you can park, set up your tent in the big field and enjoy the facilities. (Soeveryone who arrives Friday night will need to register in the morning.)If the office is closed whenever you arrive, youll just go and register when it reopens. Jordan and Felicity will likely arrive around 8 or 9pm Friday.By train:There are NJ transit trains that go from Penn Station to Hackettstown station, but this would only be an option on Friday. There are no trains to or from Hackettstown on holidays / weekends. You would need to find a taxi service to take you the rest of the way about 2 miles to Goodland.YNA MembershipYNA will have deeply discounted rates for this weekend at Goodland that you wont get at any other time!
