[at-l] Gathering Locations needed

[camojack at comcast.net (camojack@comcast.net)]

Well, my li'l 1.18 acres in the Philly 'burbs is kinda centrally located, but the neighbors would probably complain. 

I'm no farther from the trail than Pipestem, WV, however.

My 2.99 acres in Hawaii is probably out of the question, for obvious reasons...

Did "Jester" get elected, pray tell?

-------------- Original message -------------- 
 Actually, ALDHA really NEEDS to find some alternate locations for the 
 Gathering. Dartmouth has become much less friendly to the Gathering - i.e. no water at the campground, no early arrivals, no auditorium available for the opening ceremony, etc. It is possible that Storrs Campground will be closed to us entirely, then where do we sleep? The farmers' fields we used to use have all been developed. 
 
 As to Pipestem - if Warren decides to let everyone know that he isn't 
 involved in the planning of the next Gathering, we may no longer be welcome at Concord College either. 
 
 Two years from now the Gathering may not have any place to go. So if you know a school or any other facility that is willing to let groups use their classrooms for almost no money, with a good camping area nearby, a room big enough to assemble 400-500 people, that is near the AT -- let someone on the Board know. ALDHA has been talking about finding alternate locations for years, but now it is time to get serious. 
 
 BTW - we're no longer on the Board. Jim went to Hanover to get unelected - and he was eminently successful. We be goin' hikin'.

Yes, Jester did get elected to the board.  If Bob Peoples took Jim's place, 
then Jester took my place.  I needed a break from the board and was glad to 
see some good people willing to get involved.  I'll probably stay active 
with ALDHA in other ways though.
