    what about colorado??? no one has suggested that yet.. everyone likes the idea of kansas except its boring...well...colorado is right next door

    we have PLENTY to do...for anyone who wants sight seeing, we have that...4 wheeling, we have that...large places to meet, we have that...central to the US, we have that...we have anything that any other state has, and more...

    im not saying it because its home, but because we are central, and we have lots and lots and lots to do...i really dont give a rats @#$ how far i drive, i bought my VX to drive it!



    ps- its also very reasonably priced...our hotels are cheap, our dining and bars are cheap, events are cheap..
    What about nebraska ? I think it's a good location too.
    Dakar was just the begining.

    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)

    I've been a Huker fan for 40 years but live in VA. I would love a reason to drive to Nebraska.

    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.

    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.

    They saying kansas is bored,kind of flat pancake land,i told them we can chase some tornados over,that's a lot of fun

    My other option is nebraska,that state also offers a lot of locations to hold meet over there.

    All the more reason to have a poll. Over 50 people responded that they'd be interested in doing this, so we need to get a consensus of more people than just the 3-4 of us who keep responding to this thread.
