Yeah, Camping was a successful part of 2012, and has been a consideration from the start for 2013. When looking for places, we quickly ruled out any areas that didn't have some outdoors camping within a couple of hours. I've been to Shenandoah, and it's a nice place. A totally different ecosystem to the wet west coast; but that should be fun.


And yeah, the long-term plan is to hit the west coast again in 2014, perhaps a little further south like California... After that who knows. There's the Disney World thing planning for Florida at some point; and then A2 and A3 will be in the picture and quite likely dictating the date and possibly the place of meetups around that time.

In that long term look, 2013 is a perfect year to get out "east" for the US folk; or "less west" for the rest of the world; to keep it all as inclusive as possible. Worth noting that most of the planning team lives on the west coast, and it will cost us substantially more to hit the east coast also.
