Although RTA will provide the logistical support for the next forseeable official RTA Rendezvous gatherings, does anyone wish to volunteer themselves as the local contact host/guide/guru/?
With respect to the Wyoming Branding event -- I was the local guy (the Hageman's are family) but for the next one, wherever that turns out to be -- we would want a real local on the ground to assist us in planning the event.
Any takers?
Mark,
I'd be happy to assist you if you ever plan to meet somewhere in Quebec or even in some places in New England, but since most people from RTA seem to live in the SW it would probably be more difficult to bring lots of folks on an north eastern rendezvous! On the other hand, I really don't mind driving long distances to the west again on any rendezvous you might suggest!

I'd be willing to coordinate any possible destinations in Arizona! Anyone up for a tour of Fort Bowie?
I am curious, why do you think that? By far, most of the RTA contributors live east of the Rockies. There are a handful of regular contributors who hail from the desert southwest, but they are in the minority.Quote:

By that I meant most of the "official" contributors of RTA and those who participated in the first rendezvous, but like you said, a lot of posters come from various places and that's great! Plus, I probably don't have the same definition of "the west" as you:o) For me anything west of the Mississippi is "western", even before that! And I'm not even talking about the Rockies, this is the "far west"!:-)Quote:

Bob,
Okay, I'm in for another one:o) That place is marvelous and very few people seem to know it even exists!Quote:

No one is any more official than anyone else here. At the moment, the largest contingent of registered members on the site hail from Europe and beyond. The 50 or so that hail from the SW are just doing more posting right now. But if you were able to see the home towns for the last 1000 posters -- the SW would be in a definite minority.Quote:

I just posted some ideas in the sticky post at the top of this section.
If I have enough advanced warning, and depending on my transportation arrangements... I could help out with Cascadia (PNW, primarily Washington) as well. Yes, I live in Phoenix, but I lived in Washington for the last 12 years!
