Panda77 brings up a great point. Distance at this time is going to be a 
problem. I believe that if there were some type of chat set up where 
everyone that was interested could log in on the same night and time and 
discuss this further it might help.

I for one would love to see a big event every year. We have a ball every 
year at the A.J.A.C.S. camp out. We love to get together with the people 
we haven't seen all year, sort of like a mountnain man/trapper 
rendezvous but with Geocachers. Even though A.J.A.C.S. is cool, it is 
far from Mega status with only 62 teams there this year. Arizona could 
never hold a Geowoodstock unless we have some organization that can 
prove they pull off big gatherings.

I realize we are a varied and diverse crew her in the AZ. I think it 
would be nice to all get together under one banner at some time, if even 
for the cool tshirts. :)
