The number one question I always get at each Gathering is "Where's the next one?"

Other than saying "Western region" I had no answer. So, based on the Gathering Map we need to find a city that will make for a good Gathering location in the West, that we have not yet used for a past Gathering.

I will kick off the recommendations with the following:

Phoenix, AZ
Albuquerque/Santa Fe, NM
Salt Lake City, UT
Seattle, WA

If you have other suggestions, please reply to this message to suggest them. Please do not suggest one that I listed above, or repeat suggestions that others add. (We'll handle that in voting later). Just looking for a distinct list of ideas.

After 7/31, I'll use this list to create a survey so we can vote on the location.

Thanks!

I will add that we talked about locations for next years gathering(and the Western gathering after that, more on that later) during this yrs. Keep in mind when suggesting a local what the weather will be like during the gathering. I'd love to have folks come to my new state of AZ but if it's in Phoenix a great time to would be during the early spring/late fall, too hot during the summer. Unfortunately, some of our members might be dealing with snow.

As for the Western gathering in 2019. My daughter will have been(future perfect tense!) in HI for 4 years. I'm sure she'd love to organize an event in Hawaii. We could all rent scooters!

That being said, How about somewhere like Wyoming or Idaho. We could hit Yellowstone and drive Going-to-the-Sun Road in Glacier NP. Some might even be persuaded to take a longer vacation in order to spend more time in the parks.

Check this out: https://www.springmountainmotorsports.com/private-events/overview located about an hour west of Vegas. Condos for rent at the track https://www.springmountainmotorsports.com/the-facility/condos prices are not bad.

Word of caution -- the West is big and much miles between cities so cars have to be in top shape and ready to roll.

Just sayin'

That's all the suggestions we got? Doesn't look like anyone wants to go out west. Don't we have any members in the west?

Also did Bend, OR so I'd say Oregon is pretty much out of the picture. I've done two gatherings on the west coast one with the Vette one without, looking forward to another where ever it might be :-)
