why dont we start a thread and do a listing...i started a list of names and other information in another thread and the tread got very long...what we could do is have everyone only post a state if their state isnt already listed...and have it like North, West, East, and South parts of the State listed.....that way maybe it wouldnt get too too long....just make your posts short...all you have to do when you go to the thread is copy the list change the number by your part of the state and post it....just that information.....JMO

There are many campgrounds, outdoor park areas, and the scenery with the mountains is breath-taking. We enjoyed the cold streams that were everywhere.... it was fun wading in them!!! I don't know how dog friendly they are, but it wouldn't be hard to do some "surfing" and find out.

everyone that i have talked to that has dogs says they take theirs to Pigeon Forge all the time

Shanatink · 06-27-2008, 06:00 PM

I vote for Texas so I can come

! We are really good at doing meetups here and usually have high attendances when we have our local meetups.

If we dont do Texas then I think we should do a location that is vacation-appealing, like Florida, Vegas, New york, etc that way I can maybe talk my husband into going

.

I Love the Florida Idea.. All my family lives there. But Also Love the CA ,LV ,Or Tn Idea. Although there are alot of Texas memembers I am not that excited about that location. I lived there and Didn't care for it to much

Do you mean a poll??

Maybe you could do two or three polls, one for for each region. e.g. one poll could be the western states: California, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, Arizona, etc. Have them click on which state they are from. If they are not from a state in the poll they need to go to the next poll.

LittleMansMomma · 06-27-2008, 06:21 PM

I'm game for 2009..I would love to have it in either Nashville or Gatlinburg, but it don't matter where it is...I'm saving my money up for this meeting!!!

I do agree with some of the others though it don't really need to be in a hot and humid place or an expensive place either.

I also agree with poll, it would make it easier to find out which state or region has more YTers.

TootiesMom · 06-27-2008, 06:24 PM

I REALLY REALLY shoulda been there this year, and if I can find someone to go with me, I am game... for just about any place... Gatlinburg is not one of my fav places because it is very crowded for such a small town...

my 1st vote would be San Diego... the weather is BEAUTIFUL!
FL is a close second.... I have heared that is is pretty dog friendly...

Although TX would not bother me(I live in the sweat box), most people would have a hard time with the heat...

I think ChattiesMoms idea of a fee to get on the list would be great! This would be a good start on a budget. If I know in time enough, I can plan the family vacation around it... COOL!

I would also be willing to put up a non-refundable deposit to get reservations started...

I am not near very many YT'rs at all but would be happy to do anything I can for organizing..... Whoever ends up in charge, put me on the list!!!!!!

I would go if it were in Chicago. I can't afford to fly anywhere and Chicago is within reasonable driving distance

daisy mae06 · 06-27-2008, 06:31 PM

I would also Like to Put Out here My Idea......

I think It would be great to take over a camp ground......

One that has Cabins for those that don't like to Tent camp and also

electric for the ones who need it.

I think that would make it FUN and more affordable for more people.

I think the cost is what held many from attending the KC one.

SladesMommy · 06-27-2008, 06:37 PM

That would be cool... my only thought w/ that is how many cities that have airports also have close by campgrounds? Or would we have to fly in somewhere then rent a car and drive a bit to get to the campgrounds?
