Yep, I'd definitely agree with that. It would be really nice,
IMHO, if we could get some spectacular landscape to go along with the
meet. :-) I mean, folks can get together in a Wal-Mart parking lot
anywhere in the country. I can't speak for anyone else, but I find
flat ground really boring. :-) I will certainly defer to the
collective judgement of the group here, but IMHO, a nice mountainous
location would make the meet even more special.

Yep, that's a good point. What with the BBQ, Carlisle, Toronto,
Foxwoods, Mopar Nats, etc. the northeasterners have certainly had
ample opportunities to get together. Seems like every year we hear
folks expressing regret over the distance to the BBQ - here's your
chance to get in on the action! :-)

Heh! I was just thinking along those lines. :-) We're making a big
effort to try to get it somewhere that the folks in the west can attend
also, but I haven't heard from anybody out there yet who is interested? :-)
(I may hve missed it?) I suppose if we easterners are the only ones
crazy enough to want to do a meet like this, we could move it to the
Appalacian range. ;-) Maybe with the Thanksgiving holiday everyone is
away from the computer, so I guess we should give the left coasters a
chance to come out of their food comas and chime in first. :-)
