OK. It seems that there has been some wires getting crossed. I'm getting confused, so let's get some things ironed out. This is how I understand it as things are now...
-The weekend is the 23rd- the 25th of August. It's the last weekend of the month.
-The places are being worked on... Depending on how many meets there will be. I would like to do 4 locations. If anyone can think of a solid reason to do more or less, I'm open to discussion for sure. Let's clear this up by the 1st of May. That way we can get cracking on exactly where we'll hold these meets.
This is all that I know for sure at this point. If there is other "Absolute" info, please post it up so we can all be in the know. The private messages are cool for some things, but if it pertains to these events, please keep info here so we can all keep up with what's going on and what is being changed.
I wanted to set an "Schedule" for the events(Or classes, etc) so that it could be productive, but totally volunteer. If people want to literally just hang out by their campsites, I'm fine with that too. I was figuring it is a good way to get to know someone if you're learning in a team environment. It's like going to school when we were kids. We can make teams depending on who signs up for what classes.... Or..... We could make it just a weekend of fun and good times. I'm okay with that too. Absolutely! I think getting to know each other and networking is a great idea. My thoughts on the schedule was that it would be volunteer. If people want to learn to fish, trap, can food, make shelter, or take a CHP class, they would have that option. We could schedule 2 events per day that people can sign up for if they choose to. If I'm alone in that thinking, so be it. I have no argument at all to making this a vacation entirely. I think it would be rather relaxing, actually!
Let's get the # of meets settled in the next couple of days. After that, we should be able to settle on locations within another week. Once we set the locations, all we have to do is decide what, if anything, we are going to plan on doing while there. After that, all we gotta do is go and have a BLAST!!!
ps- I hope this is okay with yall. I'm just trying to clarify all the details. I by no means intend to "Take the reigns" or act bossy by trying to dictate what we should be doing and when. I just want to simplify it as much as possible.If I'm coming off as pushy, let me have it. Tell me what you want to do and let's make it happen.
