Like the pole says. I'm flying a trial balloon by all of you to see how far you all would realistically consider traveling to a 914 event. I'm not picking a location or starting a new event that will land on or interfere with all the things we have going now. I'm just thinkin if there was a all 914 weekend in the middle of the country how far would people travel to attend?

I regulary drive 489 1 way to Hershey , 1,000 is very doable. And I am a old

man (71) with bad back and hips. Drove to MSUR once in my pick up , that was

a 2 day drive. 1,000 miles in a 914 is very douable. I can do the drive to

Hershey in 7 to 8hrs. depending on traffic . As long as I am alone , ( no wife )

. What ever you plan Rick you know I will be there if physically possible.

The trip of a life time would be to drive the 914 to the West Coast Event but I

really don't see that ever being possible!
