I like the idea of having a KRavan going west for a gathering location with some different atmosphere.....any takers? Mark Langford wrote: Maybe there's a little room for compromise here. I don't think anybody can complain about the venue that Larry and Chris have provided at MVN. It's hard to imagine how it could be much better. But I also think there's something to be said for the adventure of going to a new airport, and giving somebody else the chance to make me say "wow...this is a neat part of the country", or "what a great Gathering that was!". Would you want to miss the great "Colorado Springs Gathering of '08"? No way! Or maybe San Antonio or Ohio, or Wisconsin or MN? We could conceivably do it one year at MVN and the next somewhere "strange", still by secret ballot vote at the banquet, of course. Although there's something to be said for the traditional "banquet pitch", you have to admit that it makes more sense to kick it around on the internet weeks in advance so people have a chance to investigate, run it by family members, think about it some, point out pluses or minuses to others, or whatever. Maybe this is the best of both worlds... I don't know. I also feel like the west coast guys are getting a raw deal. It's great that Lee, Steve, Jeff, Richard, and Rich fly all the way out here to the Gatherings, but I'd love to have a year where we all fly to Jeff Scott's field in New Mexico to see what a density altitude of 9500' is like. And I"ll bet there are a bunch of west coast KRs that we've never even seen before. If we had a Gathering out there and brought in some new ones, maybe they would come to MVN the next year. Or maybe we need to start cooking up "KR Karavan" trips in the Spring just to get out and get together somewhere, like Joe Horton and I did in West Viginia one day. Just another angle on the Gathering thing. I'd volunteer to have one at my father's farm (which I visited today), but I'm a little worried that somebody would roll one up in a ball down there...
