I like Rapid City or Mammoth Cave of those you listed. Discount my vote as I am not certain I could attend.
However I know my hubby would not agree to take me to St. Louis or Chitcago due to riots/crime.
Which one, RC or MC? We need one definitive pick from each person. Just choose based on whatever is important to you—distance, place you’ve never been and want to see, etc.
No one has to commit to going at this time. Not everyone is going to make it. Not everyone is going to be free on the date we eventually pick. Something is going to come up in people’s lives a few weeks ahead of the meetup that prevents them from going.
I’m hoping we don’t need firm commitments until within two months or so of the meetup and the commitments would mainly be to determine what size meeting room is needed.
I envision people just booking their own rooms at whatever hotel or motel floats their boat. That way, they can cancel 48 hours ahead if need be.
I imagine everyone is going to either drive or rent a car from the airport and can drive twenty minutes or so from their hotel to the meeting venue.
I’m not sure for security purposes we want to register as as an FR or Q group at a hotel. We might be safer spread out at different lodging.
Very difficult to choose, and the odds of me being off work at the right time are about 1 in 6. But if it’s within a day or two’s drive and I’m off, anything within 1000 miles of Chattanooga, TN would work for me.
OK City has been named and that might be a good spot. Tulsa maybe too.
I suggest we plan this for next spring.
and I like Chattanooga or Branson
