and how many RCR attendees or list subscribers who might go are near the
Mississippi?  Quick, a show of hands please so we can count... I thought
so.

Seriously though, you can find what the majority of us would call nice
riding areas in most states (maybe not ND), but for an RCR we'd probably
prefer one where we have a good chance of finding a nice group of old and
new friends.

While many among us are out of our minds enough to ride 1000+ miles
(mostly backroads) to an event, we realize that quite a few of the
denizens we'd like to see at an RCR can't often make such a long trip,
for any of a long list of reasons.

For all the talk of Pennsylvania being north of the accepted borders of
the RCR, it would probably draw quite a few denizens you might not have
seen at an RCR in a while.  It might even attract some new ones being
not so far from bigger cities.
