Jack Lefferts who is helping to organize this event asked me to post these details and encourage everyone to attend.
It's always been a large gathering...Not just a few locals guys as was mentioned above.

The location, and directions are as follows:

From Interstate 95
Take the New Hope exit 51 off I-95. (This exit is between the Newtown/Yardley exit and the Trenton exit.) When exiting the ramp, turn onto Taylorsville Road toward New Hope. (From the south this will be a left turn and from the north a right turn.) Follow Taylorsville Road to Route 532. There will be a traffic light at this intersection. Turn right onto Route 532. Travel on Route 532 for less than a mile to Route 32 at a four-way stop. Turn left onto Route 32. Travel north on Route 32 a short distance. The group will be parked in the lot directly off of River Road (Rt. 32) just north of the visitor center.

Exit the turn pike at the Philadelphia exit 351 (old exit 28). From the off ramp, take Rt. 1 north, Morrisville. Continue on Rt. 1 until you see exits for I-95, exit Rt. 1 at the I-95 north exit.
