What about getting together and driving out to the LA meet on November 9th? There is still plenty of room at the hotels in the area, and we would love to meet you. Arizona isn't that far, and we in California can't make it to your meet on the 9th.
Most of our roads are closed, so scheduling your offroad meet for a week later just might get some of us Californians out your way.
