Sooo...why don't you just have us meet you at a predetermined campsite? That is, instead of getting up early and coming out to meet us.

Early?

You will probably find us dead to the world.

Adventurist!
You have given me a good idea as to how to make this good all the way around. I think what we will do is this:

On Friday night, we park our car at the end of the trail on the other side of Tom Jones Mountain. It's a fairly short, but steep hike up to the shelter. We can do this in reasonable time and bank on the fact that we can secure the shelter. We stay up there on Friday night. Saturday morning, we will have an idea of the time frame the Saturday folks are working around and day hike out towards the direction you folks are coming in. It's a nice walk, so we can enjoy the journey and meet up with you people somewhere amidst the trail. This make sense to you all?

This way, we also have cars parked on either side of the trail for shuttle purposes, should anyone need it...

To get to the Tuxedo train station (formal attire required) you must be on rt 17. The station is right there in town on 17. You can park there overnight with no problem. If you are heeading north on I87, then get off at exit 15A. If going south, it would be exit 16, I believe. Bobo, we can meet there at a time to be determined on Friday night. I will speak to you about that.

Adventurist, you guys should meet on Saturday morning there. When you are ready, face the railroad tracks and walk to your right about 100 yards, give or take. Cross the tracks and look for the little bridge that crosses the Ramapo River. Then, the trail will pick up off the road up ahead. Follow the red trail pretty much all the way up. There are a few little split offs, so someone should have a trail map to keep you on course. On Saturday morning, we should see you before you get half way up...

Now, all we need to do is get the meeting times straight and I think we have a definitive plan here.

Bobo, I will try and scan a map and send it to you. This won't be difficult. As far as the shelter goes, we should be up there around nightfall on Friday and hopefully noone has snagged it yet..
