Ok. I’m in. Sign me up for your PS workshop, Roni. 😁
Ok. It would be so fun.
another fun location is Cape Cod. I stayed in Hyannis for a PPA conference and it was a great location.
Long Island is another location. I live about 10 minutes from a Ukranian Monastery. It is an old Gold Coast mansion, they have a retreat house we could rent.

If I could make a suggestion. . . I know there are beautiful places on both coasts to photograph. But for logistics and cost savings, wouldn't it be better to meet somewhere in the middle?

There could be fisticuffs with some in the attic.

This sounds excellent! I’m in!!!
And several years ago I met a bunch of people through a similar meetup in Yellowstone! It started as a couple of questions here, and ended up with a bunch meeting in Yellowstone…:::and I’ve stayed friends with many of them since then!

For driving, yeah. But if you're flying, there's not often that much difference in cost. In fact, flying to a central location that doesn't have a major airport might cost even more than going cost to coast.

Just don't invite any Attic denizens.
If some of them ever met face to face things could get bloody.

Yeah, but think of all the great photo ops it'd provide!!

Sounds good. Mini-meet-ups could also be done for areas such as Central Florida, East Texas, North Illinois, Western NY, etc.

I like the idea but since we have members all over the world it would not be feasible for many. Depending where in the US IF planned here, I would not be interested in certain places, However a LIVE STREAM option event would allow those to participate via live stream. Just a thought.

I went to the Badlands several years ago organized through this forum. At the time the management didn't like the idea this trip was being planned through here but that was before the open general discussion section was founded.
Small to mid-size groups work the best.
Usually someone has to take the lead and do some planning and organizing. Anything within 5-600 miles of Minneapolis would be fine with me.
May be fun to get so organized a few people could drive together.
We have a major, 12,000 car hot rod show here in the Twin Cities in mid-June if anyone is into that type of thing.

If someone/some people want to meet up in North or South Dakota, I’m game. Those are two states I need to check off my list. :-)

The idea sounds very appealing and would offer wonderful photo ops that hopefully one or two or three people could oversee to facilitate the best spots for specific areas of the country. Whatever transportation method chosen by the participants may even offer some additional photo ops. I would be interested in visiting numerous places in the states.
The idea of then offering up selected photos for comments and critique by the group could be an added benefit.
