We need to agree that this is a large country and not everyone can make to all locations. That is precisely why we wanted it rotated so everyone had a chance to have this show and educational event within a day's drive. It is not just a show - it should be so much more. And maybe if the club understood that this problem would be resolved. Meanwhile, how do you inspire a newbie to want to travel 2000+ to get to a show they know little about? We all got hooked - but then the National used to move around.

Bad I agree, I think there should be one a little more NE also, as well as west. You should live in Texas....takes a full day to get out of it if you are going from east to west!

But when the national is in oregon or california or Utah, the east coast people have to travel clear across the country as well or they don't go. When is the last time there was a national on the east coast, besides this one? I think that both coasts have the same struggles.
