That's correct,lets choose few states & focus on which cities are most suitable.Originally Posted by vt_maverick
That can narrow a lot this quest for the right location.
Yes! (Only check this if you are serious)
Maybe, sounds cool but......
Maybe, depends on much work I would have to do.
No! Your strokes have made you loose touch with reality!

HAHA, um I am voting no on Nebraska, but Colorado or NM would be fine with me

Are you asking me to drive 24 hours while you may drive 6 or 7 ?
I begin to believe that this ain't taking us no where.

Is this not unavoidable? Some people are going to have to drive farther than others regardless, especially those in the "corners" of the US.
I would be up for Colorado. I love North Carolina and Virginia, but if I was ever to move someplace else, Colorado is tops on my list. I've been there several times over the past few years, and the kid is right, there's a LOT to do, both in summer and in winter, and both outdoors and in the city. Good ideas for a group photo shoot: downtown Denver, at the top of Pikes Peak (and the convoy going up), just below the summit of Mount Evans, parked across the Royal Gorge bridge... and the list goes on. Good point here is that you can do lots of outdoors stuff in Colorado that doesn't require taking the VX offroad, so that may be a good compromise for everyone.
It would be several hours further for me than Kansas, but it'd be worth it.

That's fact few Vx'ers may have to drive more then others,but isn't seems right to hold the meet in NM,CO,UT,AR or far into the southwest;
I stand for central US states (kansas,nebraska,iowa or missouri)

Here you go ! .......

I've been a Huker fan for 40 years but live in VA. I would love a reason to drive to Nebraska.
Super VXer
No need to do that... just a 5 hour drive to Blacksburg for the VT-NU game. Let me know if you're headed up there and we'll tailgate.

Moncha - Suggest we start a location poll, but since you started the thread I think we ought to let you kick it off.
My initial suggestions for a location (in no particular order):
Denver, CO
Kansas City, MO
Memphis, TN
Dallas, TX
New Orleans, LA
Might be a good idea to have the voting open so we can get a feel for what destinations appeal to the widest geographic audience.
Super VXer
Neither new orleans,dallas,memphis & denver would work,i pretty doubt any VX'er from washington,oregon,pa,ct,nj,de,ny,ma,vt,nh will travel to any of those cities except kansas.

I think Denver and KC are probably the two best centrally located cities in the continental U.S. to hold this shindig. If (I mean WHEN) this happens maybe we could alternate having the meetup between the two cities. That way some years the westerners will have the shorter drive and some years the Easterners would have the shorter drive.
Just to throw a monkey wrench into the whole thing: If you want to have my true vote for the best city in North America to gather, I would hands down go with Montreal QC, Canada. If you have been there you know what I mean. If you haven't, then you need to go. I also realize this is just a pipe dream for me!
