Ok Western Region folks (Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Washington and Wyoming) - it is time to step it up...!!! 

Haven't seen much participation from members in the Western Region at gatherings that haven't been in our* backyard (Carson City - 2007, Bend - 2010, Seattle/Tacoma - 2016).  And NOBODY west of the Rockies made it to Colorado (Manitou Springs - 2013).  Without doing some actual counting I'm going guess that folks from the other regions of the country probably out numbered Western Region folks at all 4 of those gatherings.  WHAT'S UP WITH THAT...???  The main reason for doing the rotating regions of the country was so that folks would have the opportunity to get to a Gathering that was closer to them.

So here's the challenge - let's see if we* Western Region folks can match at least half the number of folks coming from the other regions.  We won't get the chance to host another gathering until 2022 so come on - MAKE THE TREK...!!!  (San Diego, Phoenix and Albuquerque are closer to Saskatoon than central Georgia for crying out loud!  Don't believe me - check it out on Google Maps.)


* since moving to Colorado I am now "officially" a member of the Western Region so I can issue this challenge

I've been trying to see if I can make it this year. Lots going on around the homestead. I have a 7-8 week camping trip starting in May that I've been trying to switch around so it coincides with the gathering. I'm going to be in Grand Teton, Yellowstone the Glacier NP's. My last day in Glacier is 7/7/19. 

Maybe I'm just better off flying in...

Would be great to see you in July.
Bring the white shark and your daughter.
You can camp in a C3.

Dave, 

Do you ever come out of the hills???  Louise and I were wondering about you as we ate our BBQ lunch at "you know where" on Friday.

I have no excuse 🤨 Sold the Corvette to a fella in San Antonio last spring. We are just now starting a 1-2 year long training program for the wife’s service dog Fred, every Wednesday for the next year or two is book. I made the Bend and Carson City meet but missed Tacoma by a day because we were out of state. I hope to make a meet again someday just don’t know when. Guess I’ve been out of it because I didn’t even know you moved to Colorado Norsky 😮 I love Colorado

seems we would need and Enhanced Drivers License (not yet available to Californians) or a Passport.  My Passport is expired.

So won't be coming.  Although I have always wanted to visit Saskatoon.  No Really.  I would like to see wild flat-tailed rodents and their dams and houses.
