Well in the back of mind I was thinking Wisconsin, Minnesota, or Michigan. It really does not matter to me. I live in Illinois on the top of the Mississippi river bluff, As I am typing this I can look out the window and look at the Iowa factories. I am several hours from the Minnesota,Wisconsin, and Michigan state lines. It takes about 5 hous to Omaha NE, 6 hours to Indianapolis. 8 hours to Louisville KY, and 6 hours to St Louis MO. Obviously finding a time and location is the hard part. It would have to involve enough members to make it worthwile. (I have no idea how many but at least more than just me). It is possible I could host but getting cants is a problem. They would have to be either Locust or Cottonwood. I would have to "steal" the Cottonwoods off the government land that was taken away from us in the river bottom. We own over 1 mile of riverfront ground but the government has to take the portion along the river bank. I would actually prefer to find a site where some of the guys from Canada could attend. Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota is fine. I know that may leave out some of the guys in Missouri, Kentucky, and Tennessee. It would be nice to include as many as possible. I would really like to meet as many members as possible. I would love to see this become a reality.
