[QUOTE=barttool;34067918][B]Use this map to pinpoint your location[/B] along with a little description of where you think the camp should take place. Don't forget to add your username. it's [B]your[/B] location, not where you think it should be. [url]http://g.co/maps/2fhf4[/url][/QUOTE] Interesting, someone seems to have already placed a marker with my username.
I took the liberty to add some of you to the map (didn't add anyone past the second page) and here's how's looking [IMG]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/44880859/map1.png[/IMG] I think two meetings are plausible: in BC and the south-east of the US. We'll have to see how it evolves. To edit the map you have to be loged in with a google account, then click edit. Read the description on the map for instructions.
I say British Columbia, its fucking gorgeous and I live there so we can all party with me

I live just above NYC, New York camping grounds would be awesome. I'd drive bordering states though

I think most people In Washington and Oregon Can get to B.C (if we do a West FP meetup) for around $80, California, Montana and Idaho can get Here for around $100, Using Amtrak. Depends on what you want to spend and how you want to travel.

I took the liberty of dividing North America into 6 sections and numbering how many FPers here are in each state. It's meant to be a sort of planning guide. i.e. if you're doing something for the South-Eastern FPers stay in the red states. [img]http://i.cubeupload.com/9WPxsU.png[/img]
I live in Calgary, Alberta. But BC seems ideal.

[QUOTE=RoflKawpter;34058019]South Manitoba, Muhfukka!!! Different regional camping spots would be good, but I dunno about a HUEG NORD AMURRIKA camping thing. I'd be cool driving down to Minnesota, MAYBE Indiana/Ohio if my Road Trip that i'm taking this summer meets up with your dates (that is, IF the thing is possible) I'd prefer a Canadian one though. :P Also, fuck BC. We got awesome flat campgrounds here in Manitoba!!! Nice lake, too :P[/QUOTE] woop winnipeg represent
Anywhere in BC is fantastic. I would recommend Shawnigan but the Ferry can be quite pricy (Up to $80 with a vehicle) so I understand that the mainland is probaly more ideal. Anyone in Alberta/Washington can easily drive to Southern BC, with Vancouver only being 4 hours from Seattle. It'd be within 12-15 hours for mid-alberta (Edmonton/Calgary) and probaly Mid-South Washington or even Northern Oregon. $260 round-trip from San Fran. If you don't want to make the drive, Amtrak ain't that bad. $80 from Seattle.
All of us Florida FPers should go to Disney World. [I][B]THAT[/B][/I] would end well. :rolleyes: But seriously that would actually be pretty kick ass.
[QUOTE=barttool;34072148]was that a sarcastic remark? Are you really that paranoid?[/QUOTE] no lol. I've really never seen that feature before and thought it was neat.

It depends if we have it this summer or next summer, which I plan next summer.

It'd be within 12-15 hours for mid-alberta (Edmonton/Calgary) and probaly Mid-South Washington or even Northern Oregon. $40 for Amtrak from Seattle to Vancouver. San Fran to Van is only $130. Nevermind, that's single-way. What a misleading site. Any further than that, I.E: Salt Lake City, etc, gets up to around $250+ so not really worth it. But I mean, wow. $80 for round-trip from Seattle to Van? That's... cheaper than the gas would be. And you can just play games on the train.[/QUOTE] uh... I'd love to know what car you're driving that eats up $80 for two 2.5 hour trips. My car gets relatively low mileage and I could make the tip with less than $40 spent in gas.
Illinois
The USA is 37.92 time larger then the UK, making travel considerably harder for the majority of people who live there. Would be a mean feat to pull it off, but i cant see many people paying for an "interstate" flight to go camping
I live in Michigan, so if it happens to be within a days drive I would consider coming.
Virginia. If we camp too far out in the middle of nowhere, then we'll get eaten by lions, bears, tigers, each other, etc. I say we just meet up at a wall street protest or somewhere near civilization so we can walk up to a gas station and buy food if we need it.
I would possibly attend one if it were in Georgia. It doesn't look like there're many FP'ers in the Southeast though. :/
Would there be an age limit? I don't really want to be camping with a bunch of 12 year olds. 17 sounds good to me.
[QUOTE=Smokes;34078322]Would there be an age limit? I don't really want to be camping with a bunch of 12 year olds. 17 sounds good to me.[/QUOTE] Or 18, that's the legal adult age in most states.

The United States is 312.25% larger than the British Isles. British Isles - Roughly 121,600 square miles United Staets - Roughly 3,800,000 square miles 38% would make the United States 167, 800ish square miles.

Washington. [editline]6th January 2012[/editline] I would be willing to go to Canada or Oregon for a meet up.
