In the 32oz Nalgene bottle contest thread the idea for an ETS gathering was brought up. So let's see what people think. Start off by suggesting your top three states for this bangmoot and and the number of nights you could spend there.

My Choices of states:
1. New Mexico
2. Colorado
3. Arizona

Number of nights at the event (not including travel time):
two for sure, maybe three.

I didn't pick Texas because there isn't actually much open public land here, we'd have to meet at someone's property. I'm pretty much open to anywhere though.

-Blast

1. Nevada
2. Arizona
3. Oregon

2 nights

Even I would try to make it to something like that.
(But you guys would have to promise not to hit me :p)

I'm planning a trip to the Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico next year, so that would be my choice. Otherwise, Massachusetts is a little out of the way for most people.

2 days.

Arizona is where ETS is "headquartered" so, either there or New Mexico

3 days for us

Mike

Arizona would be good, Nevada too, maybe even Wyoming, which is something like 85% public land...

1. Colorado
2. New Mexico
3. Arizona

2 days

Y'all should all show up at Doug's house?..lol...kidding.

I could probably do a full weekend - 2 nights/3 days.

Jeff

Honey, can I go halfway across the country to spend a fews days in the woods with a bunch of strange men I met on the internet? What's that? You break up when you yell into the phone that loud... oh, ok... Yes Dear.

I could do a weekend or maybe a three nighter. My choice of states would be

1. Colrado
2. Arizona
3. Nevada

Good heavens, your wife sounds just like mine! Do they get this information and share it among themselves?

I am in for anything in the southwest.

Virginia.
Someone had to bring it east.
Actually, how about several "regional" gatherings.

I forgot to add that, depending on where we are "working," we will either not be able to attend, or can stay there 'til we run out of food and booze. Gotta worry 'bout Blast tho, my wife likes tall guys...

OBG are you like me "short squatty body"?

then I also have to worry about Blast

Mike

What a coincidence, I like women.

-Blast

Virginia
West Virginia
Maryland
North Carolina

Something like this would probably have to be regional.

"...short squatty body..."


Nope, I'm 6' (or used to be, maybe 5'11" now), 185 or so. But Blast is TALL! And he has hair!!!

"...I like women..."

Me too!!!

Um, this is sorta turning into a whole 'nother type of meetup. I was thinking of bringing my wife along, but now I'm not so sure. ;-)

Jeff

And scars. Chicks dig the scars.

-Blast, 6'5" and 215lbs

I'd prefer NC or whatever is closer to Florida for meetup "East."

Jeff

Blast, 6'5" and 215lbs, just big bone I'm guessing, I'm a fat shrimp in comparison at 6'2" 240 lbs. Any way, I just wanted to say if you guys can take some pictures once you guys hook up, I think you'll have a blast---or I mean a great time. I wish I could go as well but I used up my time for this year in traveling overseas. I hope you guys get a good time and post them pictures when you get back. I think this will get interesting. Hopefully know body gets voted off the desert. Good luck!!!!!!!

Oh, I've got LOTS of scars. Gonna be getting another one pretty soon I fear...

Just to hijack my own thread:
Pictures of people of different heights/weights

-Blast

Ya'll know, of course, that Oklahoma is pretty darn near the center of the lower 48...barring that, I'm up for Colorado. Red Dirt Res., 13K feet, bring yer own canoe, gold pans, trout-cookin' gear, and companionship.

On an aside, I'm 5'10", 175#, and not worried about my wife

5' 7" 140 and still growing (all muscle btw)

You boys decide when and where and me and my clan will be there.

Mike

sounds like a good idea. We prefer the southwest. Pick a date and place and we will be there. Providing we can bring our "house" of course.

Nomad.

If a winter rendevous is being considered, I would have to think Phoenix would be the most likely target.

Logistically it makes good sense, timing wise it would be more practical.

I guess I'll start the bidding then. Phoenix in January anyone?
