Where were you?
Crash respects the people's privacy so that our faces are not plastered all over the net.
They were all wearing camo.......
Yep....there are people in most pictures. You've just gotta look real hard and hold your lips just right.
I may get in trouble for this post but that is not going to stop my comment. The Jamboree is posted many months in advance but people seem not to want to participate. I realize folks are spread out but there are many that live close enough to come but do not. It makes me think that many like to talk the game but when it comes time to play and actually get a chance to be camping out it is not something folks are wanting to do.
Now I realize that finding a place convenient for all of us is impossible. It is not like there could not be more than one location so that folks would not have to travel so far but I really do not see folks participating anymore if that were the case. It all comes down to whether folks want to make the commitment.
I think it is a great opportunity for us to get together to network with each other and just to put faces to the folks posting. The folks that have come to these have been great and very down to earth just like their posts.
So please think about taking the time to come and if it is too far consider heading up a Jamboree in you area if there are enough folks interested. There is nothing wrong with there being more than one.
Or whether your work changes your shift on you, takes away your scheduled PTO time, then puts you on mandatory overtime. Life happens.Quote:

Even planning ahead doesn't cover the possible glitches that occur.........
We attended last year, had the trailer packed for this year (still is)....but became apparent that the trip wasn't gonna happen.
After all it was and is supposed to be a fun and enjoyable experience as was the one last year.
Will see about next year.
I wish it wasn't so far. Curious what are the average distances traveled form users? Anyone gone 1,000 or more miles to attend?
Our trip last year was in the 750 mile range, would have been a about the same this year.........and we split it up both to and from.....stayed at a hotel part way.
We travel to Louisiana a couple of times a year that about 1000....and have been splitting that trip up.
This one was about 550 one way for me. The first one was the furthest for me - don't remember the distance, but think it was close to 900 one way.
Winnie holds the record though.
What was that record?Quote:

I'm guessing about 4,000 miles. Remember, she lives in England.Quote:

That should take you only about 33 to 35 hours......Quote:

Lol. I think i'd either just fly in and rent a vehicle, or i'd have to make it a couple week trip across the country to justify putting the miles (and gas) on my car.Quote:

i guess the reasons many would not are manifold. health, economy, job , life happens and so on.
in all honesty i really wish i could,ve attended. i live to camp.
rick, where was i about 1400,miles away.
I have tried in the past to get one going in this area but there's always been a lack of interest.
I've wanted to go to some of the others but life happens so I don't commit when it would be more than a couple of hours away.

Sorry BTW, as much as I love my WSF buddies, if I am going to spend $1600 I would go see my parents. My dad just had sugary to remove a tumor from his bladder. Yes, it was cancer. Or I would go see my ailing mother in law who hopefully will live a bit longer so I can see her again, because she "raised" me since I was 17. I haven't seen them since my husband's funeral 3 years ago. Or I would put that money in my house savings account as I am saving for a down payment. People come if they can. Trying to guilt people into coming wont make finances or location change and is a pretty malodorous tactic.
Actually, it is farther then that for me and I'm still technically in this country lol.Quote:

I think Sourdough had mentioned that if he came it would be farther than Winnie from England.
KyRat and I met up a few days ago and were discussing this. The general thought was to keep the annual WSF Jamboree which is a site wide invite and then have a "Regional Rendezvous" in addition. I'll start a thread to see if there is an interest for my area.Quote:

Well, I posted the idea. Let's see if people actually step up, claim their region, and get one started.Quote:

Many wanna complain they never have anything in their area. The opportunity is at their feet. As the saying goes, "Put up, or shut up". Crash is a mod, not site community organizer. He sets up the Jamboree out of his heart (and does a fantastic job too!) and it is not his job to set up stuff in other areas or in every state. It is not written any where that only certain people can set stuff up. If members want it soo bad, they can do it themselves.Quote:

Just so y'all know what a perfect pick Crash made for the date, check this out.
(He picked the weekend that produced the beauty that he showed in pictures, and just before the snow hit.) LOL
(Yep.....22 inches of snow there, this past weekend.)Quote:

Actually, I'm not surprised at all, but I won't go there.Quote:
