if i was to fly in from Vancouver B.C. where would one land , large air port then regional air port?

Norm, wherever you land (BWI maybe?) there will be folks, me included, who would be glad to pick you up and bring you to Wellsboro.

That would be great,but i am wondering if any of you know where the best regional airport , would be so i can figure out timing ,cost return trip ,that kind of info , and as you mentioned a possible ride from there to Wellsboro.

Thanks Norm
,

Probably Wilkes Barre/Scranton Pa or Binghampton, NY which is still going to be a 2 hr drive, maybe 3. But there isn't anything very close.

BWI is Baltimore, MD. That may be your best bet if you have a ride.

I think Tim is flying into BWI. Gary and Tim might come a couple days early to do some fly fishing. But, I'm close to BWI and can pick anyone up. I think Roy flew in Thursday evening. A bunch of Campfire guys met us and had dinner, then he bunked at my house and we left for Noxin Friday morning. Then Keith flew in Friday morning and I picked him up then left for Noxen.

I know we are talking about Wellsboro, but it would be the same game plan. If you get an early flight we leave straight from the airport. If you can get a cheaper flight the day before, you can bunk in our guest room that has a full private bath. Same for departure.

Both Wellsboro and Noxen are essentially the same time and distance from Baltimore Joe.

Thanks Ted. Just didn't want people to think I was confused.

What about flying into state college?

.

thanks everyone for all the info and [[answers of BWI]] ,at this time that seams to be the best for rides. other places like State Colledge or Scranton may come into play if rides become available.

is there someone thatcan give me an idea on costs of motel hotel rooms in the area.

Thanks to all Savage loonies.Norm

Norm,
Lodging at Penn Wells Lodge, Canyon Motel and a couple others. Certain that others will check in with more info. You will be attendee #21. See you in Wellsboro.

If you fly into BWI and have to overnight there, you are my guest. As it stands, Gary, Tim, and I are going and having a fourth would make getting a room in Wellsboro easier. We could get two rooms with singles instead of one room with two beds and a cot. I’ll be checking on rooms this week, I’ll keep you posted.

thanks Joe that would work. now i need to find the cost of flights, i will try for thursday .


Norm

Joe, I'm still in. I need to get with Gary to see about fishing a couple of days before or after....or both. I want to book a flight soon, but we need to firm up the dates. I'll call Gary within the next few days.

Thinking some more about this, has anybody investigated flying in to Harrisburg? That is directly on the way to Wellsboro too for those of us driving up from the south. Our route (I-83 north to Harrisburg, then Rt. 11/15 for a large chunk of the rest of the way) would take us right past that airport. Bears looking into in case there's some kind of good airfare deal to be had for that destination. I have a friend who flies a lot and lives in Hagerstown who often flies out of Harrisburg - the hour+ driving time is made up for by the airline deals she gets.

Google tells me it's 136 miles to Wellsboro from Harrisburg.

I shoulda thought to bribe Ted to hold it outside of Baltimore, in March right after the Baltimore Gun Show, kill two birds and all that! Or, pick a hotel in downtown Baltimore - plenty of opportunities for shooting too, if you catch my drift!

Just booked my room at the Canyon motel. See ya all there!! Rooms are very limited.

I would book rooms soon ! The Sawmill Traditional archery shoot is happening the same weekend in Morris PA right down the road and there’s not a lot of rooms in the area. Also plan on sight seeing as you will be in the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon country and it’s beautiful. With a little luck I’ll make the shoot and savage fest

Hey Joe any word on the rooms yet , sounds like they are going quick with the Archery shoot just down the road,

Norm

I’ll check today.
