1st Annual SkooliePalooza - when and where?

[turf]

i know its soon,

but April 1st seems fitting

[ol trunt]

I'm not smart enough to make Somewhere's skoolie map work, but where are the main concentrations of skoolies located? Knowing that might help guide location choice. Also, the left coast right coast idea is good--maybe add a USA Central as well. Jack

I have land here in Canada, riverfront and lots of parking,perfect for an event, but if it helps out the Canadians on here how about Canada day long weekend im in Alberta.

not sure that is really relevant, as I would only be interested in folks that would attend. While that may tend to gather more folks, my experience has been - cater to those that commit

In other words, if ten folks from Texas say "If it is in Texas, I will be there!" There is a really good chance the 1st one will be in Texas.

If there are 100 members in California, yet only one chimes in, guess where it will not be?

Trying to drop some hints here

Branson, MO
Elkhart, IN
Moab UT, St. GeorgeUT, or the grand canyon AZ
Canyon city, CO (near royal gorge)
Granby, CO (near rockymountain NP)
Cody,WY or Bozeman, Mt (near yellowstone)


maybe we should have boondock fest at a walmart?

national forest, blm, private campground, walmart.... don't matter to me

forum gatherings are fun!

for the record I LOVE.....Moab, CO, WY, and love the ideas, keep them coming

Obviously if it's in Texas I'll be there. But if it's not I'll still do my best to make it anyway.

[turf]

we had a colorado meet up of skoolies last summer and i want to do it again.

to stay in the spirit of Dred's original post, we all need to meet up at Burning man.

I thought my posts used to include my location.. weird.
I'm in central Florida. There are several of us bus folk here.

[Skoolydoo]

Us, please count us in. Course the Midwest works best..but what the heck..not even sure we will have Skoolydoo up and livable by then, can we just come anyway and stand on the outside and look in? We will behave..promise.

[turf]

sorry eastcoast, i knew that too, but wasnt thinking when i made the list.

[EastCoastCB]

My avatar used to have my location, at least I thought... Oh well, just fixed it.
no worries, turf.

I believe you Florida folks are getting together frequently already are you not? That would weigh heavily in my decision to make my efforts where the people obviously show up. I really like it when people show up

[wauto]

Any update? I'll be ready for a road trip after May.

Waiting for more responses like:
"I could make a 4-day weekend happen in the fall, within a 500-mile range from Springfield, Mystate"

[Underground_Bear]

I have no bus, but I would come to this to meet kool people and get good ideas.
