Just so everyone knows -- the geographic center of the lower 48 states is Lebanon,Kansas - about 400 miles east of Denver. So maybe the folks taking the survey knew how to read a map after all. I know it seems like Denver is in the west, but when you are only 400 miles west of center, it makes you pretty centrally located, mileage wise.

Not to get into the east coast, west coast, mid west thing.? But I would consider Colorado more towards the west then the mid west.? It was a 20 hour ride for us from Ohio?and for the people on the east coast probably 28+ hours?????? Between the gas prices and the airline costs to ship, I can see this becoming a real problem.? At least with rotating national sites some of us can attend when it comes close to us! : ) .? I am not sure centralizing it would help the ones who still have to travel quite a bit!?? Of course if you want to centralize it in Ohio, I would be estatic! haha -----Original Message----- From: Kathy Tank To: Scharo777@xxxxxxx Cc: showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tue, 15 Apr 2008 1:19 pm Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: 2009 Futurities...my imagination? Colorado is beautiful, and a 14 hour drive for us....just as silly as calling Ft Collins a "west coast national" when people from the midwest had a shorter drive than people from CA, lolol Colorado would be a NO GO, for us, not worth it, not at 3.65 a gallon.
