Seems like there are a fair amount of active forum users within a few hours of each other, but scattered all over VA.  I would like to make it to the FF pig roast sometime, but probably not the next couple of years.

Gauging interest for some type of late fall/early winter VA meet and greet.  Open to all, but I'm calling on the Virginians I have seen around FF, but have yet to meet.  I'm sure many of you already know each other and converse outside the forum.

I should probably mention that I'm also soliciting ideas for a place to meet and potential dates.  I can volunteer my place, but I live in a residential neighborhood  :D

That's ok.  We don't mind and we don't have to see your neighbors again! :D

I am with btulloh :) what neighbors :)

I am definitely interested. VA is anywhere from 6-10 hours for me :) sometimes I like to take the scenic route.

One question is would it be a kid friendly gathering. 6 year old.

Absolutely a kid friendly event.  We have an 11 year old.

Very far (263miles).  That's northwest of DC...I'm by the North Carolina border in Virginia Beach.

You could plan a wheeling trip on the way down!

Guess it's kid friendly if you want your kids being influenced by a bunch of hard working guys who play with big kid toys.  ;D

He could drive around in our forwarder and pick up logs  :D.  

I'm thinking that you are missing quite a few virginians, Don is not on there to start, I'm not on there, someone else or another.

You sure are correct.  I used the member search function and some people probably didn't show up.  Lets try this again with Virginia as a keyword in Biography.

@nativewolf

I tried searching "VA" and "Virginia" in searchable location and neither brings you up however I can clearly see you are VA when I click on your profile.  Not sure what's broken there.  Makes me wonder how any others I'm missing...

No one has a searchable location unless they choose to be, and I am thinking searching out and then publicly tagging people for this is not something I'm going to condone.

Apologies Jeff. I removed the tags.

Looks like we have enough interest to move forward.  I'll wait a couple more weeks before suggesting a date/place/time.

Trying the poll option although I didn't realize it doesn't allow for multiple selections

Please post up if multiple dates work for you.
