Toyman you only 6 miles from me
Well I can drive to anyplace when I had enough $ to cover tank.
I like meet somebody in Country or ghost town that just more fun.
Last year we had small FTE meeting in Flint that was fun.

Well ,,,,, just about all of you are down by Detroit- Ann arbor Area ... sorry but with Prices I /we are not going to drive 2+ hrs to get to a Meet. Even Flint is a 2 hr drive...
But I understand the majorityof the meets is going to be down state.... where most Members are.

We can find a place some where in the middle. I think most of the "Detroit" people are willing to make a day trip if there is enough planning on it going together. Tim has gone the farthest of us to come to the meets.
We can look around St Johns, Flint, GR. Makes no difference to me. If I am not working and nothgin has been planned by the time we set a date I will be there. I wouldn't have a problem going futher north, I would ust coe up the day before and spend the night in a hotel or something.

Well If we look at a lansing GTG that would be about center of state and about the same travel for most of us. A large GTG should be that way.
Times are hard I for one have been unemployed for 2 yrs. we can save and plan for a good meet twice a year atleast.
I wish we could have one in my back yard (so to speek) but that would not be fare to the rest of you so we all need to do some traveling from time to time for the good of the group.
There is only a few of us down here in SW MI. most of you are north or NE.
so no matter what we will need to drive to see friends. This group is worth it atleast as for me it is. I will find a way.
