Netters, I Have to been to 4 Kr gatherings, all of which have been in Mt. Vernon. In my mind Mt. Vernon is a perfect place to have a Gathering. It has the lake for camping, bathrooms for showering, and a restaurant. Not to mention Chris who every year goes out of his way to help out. I have only flown my KR to the gathering once. (Mark L. try flying with tiny tank Charlie for 1500 miles and have to stop every 200 miles for gas.) The cost of fuel and the extra time, and maybe a night stay on the route all add up to an expensive trip. No matter where we have the Gathering ie East coast, West coast. "out west" at Perry OK still a 6 hour flight for me. I think maybe we can give the long distance flyers a donation for fuel. The plaque is nice but only one person gets it, and its hard to put in the tank.
just a thought Lee Van Dyke
