It seems to me we are heading towards two smaller, separate gatherings. One coastal, the other closer to the Rocky Mtn. west. I don't know of any concentration of Mudcatters west of the Mississippi, unless it is a fairly large area in the northwest.

The other thing for me, at least, is I will actually be able to make the getaway in 2007, so expenditures for any other gathering in the same year will have to be minimal.

I agree with mg, though, pick the place(s) where the most can make it and I'll come if Rog and I are able.
