I like all of the ideas that have been mentioned so far. I'm also
definitely up for the shooting range idea. Maybe once we had some time
at the range to get a feel for everyone, we could find somewhere else to
set up as well. I know that I always have more fun shooting out in the
middle of nowhere than I do at a range. If nothing else, it's easier to
stop and rearrange your targets and such.

In that case, you better start looking for a nice big 5th wheel with
multiple slide-outs. :-)

Yeah, it depends. I have been RV camping a few times and have seen both
extremes. If we can get at least 30 or 40 of us together, I think we
will be able to take over at least an area of just about every
campground we could find. I like the idea of the Denver area
personally, but definitely understand that it isn't really "fair" to
everyone who lives on the east coast (and there are a lot more people
out that way who have expressed interest... speak up west coast people,
damnit! :) ). Something further east is fine with me as long as there
is enough to do, but I will probably fly if that's the case.
