Cruise-In in Port Jervis
Port Jervis, New YorkTuesday, October 1, 2013
Port Jervis is a city on the Delaware River in western Orange County, New York. It is not a big city but on the first Tuesday of each months, vehicles of all styles descend on the town. This Cruise-In takes place just off the main street of Port Jervis. The cars find parking spaces along the roads among the cars normally parked there. The action begins a little after 5:00p and continues for most of the evening. The turn around is wild. As I was taking photos of a section of the area, I'd note vehicles cruising through looking for a space - I knew I'd have to go find them later, hoping they'd still be there. Needless to say, I think I missed a lot of vehicles but you just can't keep up with the movement.
All in all, I must say this Cruise-In dazzled me with the action, the drive-throughs, the number and variety of cars plus the great camaraderie shown by the participants. Even though it appears that confusion exists, Registration, Judging and Awards are handled quite professionally.
This Cruise-In is the last one for 2013. I expect it will all start again in early spring when these guys again descend on Port Jervis, NY
