This one point I am going to press real hard for - the one single
underlying thread in all this is Unity Among The DML! (if such a
concept is possible among us LOL)
I suppose it doesn't have to be camping but damnit I want it to be - for
good reasons. Its more of a personal setting, I love sitting around a
camp fire at night. I'm sure some would not like the idea of camping,
and would want to find a decent motel some place - and thats just fine.
But the more unity the better.

Ok - anything overnight where we would be manuevering in the dark like
that = Already Established As BAD! heheh

Would depend on the museum... cool science stuff = Win! ... Museum Of

YES to offroading

YES to drag racing

Falls into a catagory of "stuff members of the DML prolly should never

My brainchild idea of things was basically along this line of thinking:
A group of DMLers - out camping, with access to offroading, drag
racing, and interesting and cool local/regional attractions. That
simple. I had not thought about the possibility that people might not
want to drag race their rig, when they have hundrids of miles to drive
home. And being that I know nothing about reserving a track for our use
- I can't help much there. I would want to participate in drag racing
more than I would want to watch it really. (well I would want to watch
us DMLers drag race - that goes without saying - but to just attend a
stip to see random Camaros and Mustangs and Ricers flexing testosterone,
eh - not as much fun as if we were out racing)
I gotta get out the door and get to work - I'm only cought up as far as
11/26 with the dml posts - so I'll be posting more when I get home and
have read more.
