2018 National Rally Location

[Ranger Jim]

We're closing in rapidly on the Sho Me Mo Twisties National Rally.    I'm sure it's gonna be great but now we need to start the speculation as to the location of the NEXT National Rally.

If history is any guide, the location will be within either the SC Region or the NE Region.    In the SC Region, how 'bout Norman, OK?  In the NE Region, I suspect it might be in Rhode Island. 

[Camper Dave]

Rhode Island would be cool...
COG at the Breakers has a nice ring to it 

[Rev Ryder]

Norman Oklahoma?  Are you nuts?   



I'm voting for Greensburg, Kansas.  COG at the World's Largest Hand Dug Well.
Or if it's Maine...  It's gotta be at the world's smallest desert at Freeport.  I got dibs on first giant camel ride.

[soonerone]

Rev, what are you talkin' bout?  Some of the straightest, flatest road(except for KS) ever.......

[ZG]

Seems due to come back out west! 

[Gypsy JR]

Nevada? Arizona? Utah? Idaho? 

[Rev Ryder]

Chiricaua National Monument would be cool.

[2fast]

Could be the first one in Canada, eh?

I've got a good passport! 

[Ranger Jim]

Hmmmm. Let's see; the National Rally is (typically) held during the summer months. Chiricaua National Monument is in southern Arizona. Southern Arizona isn't normally described as "cool" during the summer months.

Probably true dat.  Used to play in the snow there. I lived in Wilcox in the 70s and it just doesn't get that hot. Msax temp for June is 90, but average high is 80.

I'm voting for Greensburg, Kansas.  COG at the World's Largest Hand Dug Well.

Plus - all the accommodations would be new...(dark humor...)

And, you're not too far from the Dalton Gang Hideout in Meade, KS (a recommended stop if you're passing through).

And to lighten the dark humor, Dorothy's house is around the corner in liberal. IIRC

^^^^^^^   
Utah and Idaho have some amazing scenery and roads.

[RodneyW]

Phoenix Arizona is the obvious choice.  The hotel rates really dip in the summer for some reason...

[connie_rider]

How about NW?
It's been awhile since we did one there... (I think)

Oregon/Washington??

Ride safe, Ted

Thanks Ted, throw the job of putting on the Nat's to the new AD.

Better than Canada I suppose they won't let me in.

hmmm, more fuel,,

COG just helped Charlie get back to riding, and they sent him "Over the Pond" last year...
  So; I suspect he'd be willing to do something for COG.
        Mebbe he'll volunteer to be the Rally Master??

Aww heck, {to save time}.
  I hearby "volunteer" Charlie to be the National Rally Master in 2018.. 

Ride safe, Ted

I think he's going to be a little late to the game if it is getting announced in June.

[Sport Rider]

Since Louisiana is in the SC, I vote for New Orleans.  I'd like to see COG turned loose on Bourbon Street.

So, if the schedule holds it should be the NE turn:

2011 - NE
2012 - SC
2013 - NW
2014 - 25th Anniversary / NE & SE
2015 - SW
2016 - SE
2017 - NC
2018 - ??

I'd be shocked if who ever is planning 2018 has not already presented to the BOD as the membership should receive an 18 month "save the date" notification. I'd bet that it will be held in August. If it is the NE, I hope it will be the southern part like VA, WV or even PA would be nice.
