Gowanheart: Sounds like a good place! Love Virginia in the Fall!
Yeah, it's really pretty here in the fall. Unfortunately there is not a lot to do here but hang out. It would be totally cool though, even if just for a day or two.

Hanging out in the country is good....of course we would have the scintillating, intellectual conversations we have here!! Plus some great barbecue and beer, right???

With a big bonfire! Listening to the Whippawills making music.

If a bunch of us show up we would make our own fun.
I will be watching to see what Judy draws from all of this. Hopefully she will pick some place and date and publish a meeting notice and have people sign up.
Big_John: Anybody thinking about this get together?
I am thinking about it John,
An what comes to Mind is this is "NOT" A Date where one would Go on your Dream Vacation....
This would be a Place to MEET Many.... and Get aquainted, so THEN you, Dream vacation, would be Secondary....
I do still feel a CENTRAL LOCATION, would only be Fair, as having it on the west coast wouldnt be Fair to those on the East coast having to travel nearly 3500 miles to go to the Opposite Coast, so I agree with Judy on Central.....
Unless there would be more than one, This would be a different story, but we eliminate meeting so many this way! Thats my thoughts again!!!!
Tho I would again ,like one before winter, meaning soon! Thats my opinion again, Good Day John!
I would Lioke to Go and if I can be of assistance in any way , Let me Know, Hotrod

All I need is a day, or two, during deer (dear) season. When is opening day?
It is more expensive to fly to Arkansas or Colorado than it is to fly to LA from NYC or vice versa. The heavier traveled routes are the cheapest.
My concern is that if this takes place in the middle of nowhere, then there won't be much else to do. I think it'd be nice to be somewhere where there's other stuff one can do for entertainment other than head down to old smokey's biker bar, y'know. Just m.o.

Better luck with that than the St Louis meet last year. That was planned about six months in advance and reached well over fifty pages. Dozens signed up to attend and as I was planning a visit to the States around that time I considered attending.I'm glad I didn't, if I'm not mistaken I think about five people actually turned up. It seems to me, the only meets that really work out on here are the Irish meets and perhaps the Malta get togethers also. I guess its the sheer size of the country and the logistics of getting everyone together in one place at the same time. Like I said though...good luck.
Scubadiva: Larry, there is no location that is fair to all.

I do agree, Middle of No where, would be extreem, tho somewhat outskirts area that would leave some options, but Heart of a City would Suck too, as Crime, Winos, Ect Invade the streets, and take away from the whole Purpose....
Example: When Crime is at Hand, nobody is comfortable, looking over Shoulder 24/7, I have Lived that Life, and thats why i am Living Outskirts... I can be in St Joseph, Mo, in 20 Minutes, The opppsite way, I can be At Smithville Lake in 20 Miniutes, KCI airport in 30 minutes, and Downtown in 50 Minutes..
Tho I do agree, middle of nowhere, would be An Extreem, as well as In the Heart of a city, Would be extreem Too... so a remote Place Close to events, would be Good....
Kinda in the Outskirts, Just My Opinion!! But Good Point Scuba!

I think you're right. The distances to cover make it extremely difficult to get anything off the ground really. Maybe easier to do quarter region meets or something like that.
I still think downtown Phoenix in August is the answer..
Just think......... 117 degrees outside, nobody would want to go out. All the guys could toss their room keys into a hat and the ladies could pick a key..

Hi Scuba, I did mention Central unless it wer Broke down in to smaller reigons as you said here. Then it may alklow some to go 250 miles, over traveling 2000 miles....
so Quarter reigons, could be good, but less opportunity to meet some that we may want to meet, example If i wanted to meet yo and you go to a different Reigon, I miss that opportunity.... so it is kind ofg a toss up, tho as the one scheduled in Newyork a while back was canceled, as not enough people, and as Bodeling saiud St louis only abot 5 showed up,.... so all would be nice in one place..... One big Gig, instead of 4 that dont produce, Maybe devided into 2 Meeting Points, would be more productive than one??????????????
But One would be nice for all... that way we meet everyone... Not just half

You can do it, dude! I once flew to Melbourne to go on a 1200-mile motorcycle ride with a guy I had only met online!
