I agree with that assessment ...

I'm going to see what I can do to put some of the details together ... there are a couple of folks that I think I can count on for some of the organizational support and I think it's something that not only can be done, but that we can put together an event that will be the envy of those in the east and midwest ...

One of the first things to do is realize we can't do this next week or even next month ... it requires that we pick a date further in advance and one that is determined more by season than by individual near-term availability ... if we were to go ahead with the St George to Page return to St George Loop that has been discussed here seasonal planning is essential ... snow has to be gone and we should not wait until the heat of summer is at is most extreme ... probably late May or very early June ... by picking dates that far in the future, people are able to plan around them rather than try to schedule an event around everyone's existing plans ...

What I'm going to try to do in the next 10 days is put together an overall plan then present it in general form to see how it flies ... having put together other (entirely different) events, I believe that what we are working with has a lot of very exciting potential ... and it's centrally enough located to be generally convenient to CA, NV, AZ, NM, UT and CO drivers ... a bit less so for WY, MT, ID, WA, OR and the westernmost Canadian provinces ... naturally, anyone from anywhere in the country could come, but there is a lesser liklihood for folks that far away to be willing to make the trip unless it is really compelling and I think it'd take a couple of successful runs before it would achieve that status ...

I've spoken to enough Crossfire drivers now that I am sure there is general support ... let's see what having the outline of a plan and some tentative dates do to building on that ...

Naturally, input is invited and will be appreciated ...
