Much like your regional car shows and Charger.com, I belong to several fishing sites that have get togethers "rodeo's" where people camp and fish. It's a great time. It's good to put a face and shake the hand of guys you've been on the forum with.
I was thinking for hearth.com, it would be interesting to have a get together to do some cutting and splitting. I know there's a ton of guys in Northern NJ, pocono's, and Hudson area of NY..
Who pays when someone gets hurt? :cheese:
Actually, there is a little history of some very small Hearth.com meetups......buy, hey, anything more than one is an official party......
I always thought that a neat meetup would be at the Vermont Casting foundry for a tour........they previously offered that as something they were open to.
The only real semi-official get together was a fried turkey meeting at Gooses house - not so well attended, probably because in mid-summer everyone usually has something better to do.
We've also had some small meetups at various equipment shows - which are also located in the right places.....usually the ones put on by Northern Logger.

(not exactly close by this year - it's been in VT and elsewhere).
A few of us met at the Woodstock Soapstone plant in Sept of this year - they had a little party there. That is on the VT/NH border.
One persons backyard, it seems, is 8 hours away from anothers!
