Wagon Fest West Poll

Please only vote no if you are west of the Mississippi.

2 votes, really?

Membership is heavily concentrated along the East Coast and Pacific Coast. Apparently everyone in between drives farm implements, trucks and/or imports.

It's mostly Subarus in Colorado sadly.

Like Dave said, the vast majority of members here are on the east coast. And Colorado is at least a 2-3+ day drive for most members. For instance, from my house to Arvada, it's over 1800 miles. And this isnt meant to discourage you from organizing, but it'll be a tough sell for a lot of members to drive a 15-20 year old wagon almost 4,000 miles.

These wagons were meant for road trips ;-)

That they are, and I love doing that. But a west coast drive is an expensive undertaking. One I sadly can't afford yet

I can understand the affording it part. I may have to hit one of the East coast WF's next year even if I have to sleep in the back of the wagon in Walmart parking lots on the way.

You're also predjudiced against folks east of the mississippi,.

Just tired of the west not representing like you guys do.

I'm sure if someone East of the Mississippi wants to go, and will actually go, that Nstg8tr would not mind that vote showing up in the poll.

Yes, if you would like to come please vote no matter where you are. I just didn't want 20 no votes from people that are close to the normal WF.

I'm very close to the abnormal Wagonfestering as well.

You have a point, we all drive wagons, there's nothing normal about us.

no we are perfectly normal, it's all those SUV driving idiots that have a problem...

Yeah, that's what I meant!

Just happened to go to the "Members Map" in the Members Only Section to see if I could see someone in OR to help a member trying to get a grill.

Take a look at the US as a whole.  There are two members in Denver, then there is nobody within, I'm guessing 800 miles.  Granted this is only a fraction of the membership, but it does represent a good % of active members.

These are two reasons why members should get on the map.

I'm heading to Virginia Wagonfest from Texas at the end of next month! It's my Christmas gift to myself..

Dude. Put it together. I will come from AZ. It probably be just the two of us, but when it gets really big 10 years from now, we can tell all the newbies about when wagonfest west was just two cars.
