Submit, in confidence, a rough geographic locale to me via PM. I can keep a Google Earth map updated to show the "geo center" of "likelys".

I'm always interested in a meet and greet but I'm limited as to how far I can go. So when and mainly WHERE would be determining if I could make it. Though I'm interested, leave me off of the 'map' so it won't scew it if there's a high probability I cannot make it.
I know others have offered rides before, but I cannot keep seated in the same spot for an extended amount of time without getting anxious and restless. Especially as a passenger.

Well, I'm in the Cincinnati, OH realm. Kyrat is N. Ky. Rick is Indiana. Hunter is Wisconson. Crash Is Florida. Ranger is Georgia. Intothenew is West virginia.
Looking at the maps, it seems SE Tenn, SW North Carolina, or Northern GA would put everyone within a days drive. Central WI and NYC would be the farthest drives at 13-14 hours, not counting those West of the Mississippi River.
We could go SE Missouri to extend a reach to our western brothern, but I would be against it if we have a dozen eastern members and one western. SE Missouri would be a trek for Crash however and about 17hrs for NYC.
If I count Winnie, our campsite might be a bit wet!
For me and my family, East Tennessee mountains sound pretty good. I would like to go with the 2nd or 3rd weekend of Oct. I have wee little ones and don't want to freeze them out.

There seems to be lots of camping locations in Great Smoky Mountains National Park just South of Gatlinburg, TN.
GSMNP also allows "back country" camping if we want something more remote........Just thinking about the drunken party next to us last year.

You mean the Jamboree isn't a drunken party?
I had a compass, but without a map, it's just a cool toy to show you where oceans and ice are.
Well, there was a rather large group that was in the campgrounds that was pretty rowdy one night. They left the next morning and they left their sites a mess. There was bottles and trash everywhere. It really detracted from the peacefulness.Originally Posted by Winter

I feel ya, I know the type. I'd like to make it to one of these someday.
I promise I'll be drunk, but more funny/stupid than rowdy.

As long as we don't venture into Dinosaur territory, I'll be happy.

Hey, I can fly anywhere, makes no odds to me!
I think Daniel Boone NF has already been done, but don't quote me on that, one of the die-hards may be able to confirm.

The second Jamboree was at Bandy Creek in Big South Fork.
This year is just bad because of all the plans I have already. Next year probably won't be good either. However, in 2 years I plan to drive up to my brother's house in CT and maybe do an AT section. My route would more than likely take up some of my church's historical sites, which means Missouri, Illinois, Ohio, NY. If you guys planned one a little farther north, 2 years from now, I might have to swing by. Of course, it would have to be before September. My kids have school.
I've taken a vow of poverty. To annoy me, send money.

Lets think about keeping it in the Chattanooga/North GA/North Carolina area. That is the half way point for most of the attendees east of the Mississippi. We know the climate and scenery of that area and can keep it 1 day drive for everyone.
If you didn't bring jerky what did I just eat?
Makes sense to me.....Do others from the North agree?

Ooo yes! I didn't get to NC/GA last year, as Sandy cut short my trip.
