I've read all the interest, now who wants to step forward to take the lead? Like I said, I'm swamped this year, but will help. Fred has also offered to help. I would suggest a more casual approach, i.e., pick a central spot, probably along or not far from the I-25 corridor, reserve, say 10-20 spots with a drop dead, release all empties deal by a certain date, then have an informal meet each other at 5 pm each day for socializing and get to know each other. The full blown Blue Beret push means a lot of planning and coordination. So who's up for the leadership?

Hey Terry,
I think that making and advertising this event as a VAC Rally is a great
idea. Its about time the central/mountain states get the chance to have a
rally organized close to them. Its a 2000 mile trek for us New England
Yankees but we'd like the opportunity to get out there and meet people we
have only conversed with via the PC.
Later
