Maybe you're onto something Susan, but, perhaps not just one campground...

As others have indicated, it might be tough to get everyone together in one place, but, maybe we can have something like they do on National Trails Day in the US, where there are activities at various locations around the country. I've worked on trail restoration projects along the Appalachian Trail here in the northeast on that day in past years. At the same time, people were involved in activities from Mount Katahdin in Maine, to places like the Backbone Trail along the Santa Monica Mountains in California. (Which is a cool hike, about 70 miles.) There are places where interested folks get together all over the country.

Anyway, we could, with some planning, designate an ETS Day. Perhaps a few volunteers who were interested... (motivated folks with too much time on their hands) could find a location/park/whatever suitable for camping in their area, and invite those in easy driving range to join in for a weekend away. It could be as simple as a "drive up to the tent site at a state park" kind of camping, or something involving a little backpacking, or canoeing, etc.

Ok, needs more thought... <img src="/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
