You are way out of my way but if I was in your area, I certainly would drive out of my way to meet you......and I hope you would do the same here.
I would love to show you our beatiful central coast.

I would go a couple of hours away, which is what I did when Judy had her gathering.

I also made a trip to Scotland to meet McPeg, but I guess that wasn't my original plan!!

If I had the time and money, yes.

I would love to just drive around the US, go out of my way and visit lots of KT'ers, but that most likely would never happen but I can dream can't I?

I would drive like a couple of hours or so and depending on the price of gas at that time. lol.

I'm not a good rider in the car (I have to stop and pee a lot, my butt hurts, etc.), but for you Patti, I would go out of my way by a couple hours! OR I'd talk you into meeting me halfway! lol

I've met 3 KTers and didn't have to go out of my way for any of them. Ginger drove a few miles to meet us on our way to Gatlinburg, Charlee was vacationing in the same town we were and we often frequent Flamingos town (so I've met Mingo twice!).

Drove to GA for first KT meeting, about 5 years ago.
Met lots of great gals and Tadpole! Fun fun fun!
Tadpole paid :o)
Sure miss that fella!

I was lucky to meet some KT'ers because of my cross country trip. Also met several at the two Tulsa gatherings, and then I went to Fredricksburg for one gathering and to Iowa for another.

All KT'ers I met are GREAT people! Really!

Oh, lets not forget Ginger! I met her, on my way to Georgia. Stopped at Mingos when I was nearby, but met her before, in Texas. Met Patti at her house, and there were two that drove to meet me there as well. Toni NE, and gramahony (Leslie)! and EVERYONE else here at the KT!

KT'ers are the BEST!

I have gone out of my way many times to meet a KTer. Have also traveled over a good part of the country meeting KTers and staying in their homes. Have also had a few KTer's come to our home for a visit. KTer's are the best people there are.

Going to meet 5 more in Naples that I have never met before and also going to met a couple that I have met before. Looking forward to a great time.

If you ever get a chance to meet a KTer go even if you have to drive a few hours to do so... you will never regret it.

Anybody going to be in my neck of the desert let me know. We have a guest room that is available and I love to cook.

We had MANY that drove out of their way and flew out of their way to come to our house for 2 get-togethers!!

We drove to Hayjud's for her get-together....and the first meeting for many of us.

Murphy and I met halfway between us for a wonderful weekend!

I drove to Des Moines to take some goodies to Rabbit (Kim) many years ago. Got her out of the hospital (her DH was in the VA Hosp) for a while and out for supper.

Sure would and have! Have been to Iowa to Sandy's for a get-together, to Tulsa to Moni's, and to Fredricksburg to Buzzard's. Have also been to Flamey's several times but she's here in the state. Would like for her to come to my town but there's NOTHING to do!!!

Yes, I definitely would! Are you planning a trip to Arizona any time this year???? Bettye

Well yes, I would Patti. I would like to meet up with as many KT members as I can.
Leslie

Read YaYa's post and sign my name to it, but change all the Flamey's to YaYa's. lolol And I will come to your town, YaYa, just not this weekend! ;)

Patti, we drove to up to meet you for dinner a few years ago, remember? That was a lot of fun, at the Big Cedar Lodge. Remember Little Joe? rofl

Heck, I don't consider it going out of my way......that's my whole point in traveling! KTers are the best group of people. Nita has stayed at my home passing through on her travels and once she brought Bobby and MacKenzie.

Flamingo and YaYa came through and stayed here and then we all piled in and headed to Buzzard's get-together. Gosh, that was so much fun. I've made several trips up to see Flamey and YaYa. They are like sisters to me. Flamey's Mum even adopted me! lol

It was great to meet everyone at Buzzard's. Dances and her DH even came all the way from Canada. That was such a great weekend....except poor Joan from Minnesota was melting! (it was pretty warm that weekend) lol

I need another KT road trip.........

McCloud and I have been to Flamey's a few times and got to meet YaYa, Twinkie, Gabby and Lurch on the first trip. What a blast that was! Had hoped to meet Jen this past Fall when we went to FB's but she stuck her finger in her eye and couldn't drive. LOL Nah, she really got something in her eye from CLEANING, silly woman! And YaYa had a conflicting trip so I missed her this last time too.

Granlan and I had the pleasure of meeting Nita, JerriTX and Gabby one afternoon. We went to a 'windy' Palo Duro Canyon State Park and had a picnic. Or, tried too anyway. Whatever we could keep weighted down on the table we ate anyway. LOL

On a trip to AR we stopped in Tulsa and picked up Dottie and went to a steak house and met up with Coral and JanOK. What sweet and funny ladies. We really enjoyed our visit. I miss them all.

We've (McCloud, Granlan & I) had MaryAnn and Jammer here at the house for breakfast one morning on their way through town. That was a joy to get to meet both of them, even if it was a short visit.

Buzz and Ed have been to see us a couple of times as they were traveling through in their RV. First time Granlan and I met her in town. Can't ever be too cautious when your dealing with a road kill eating bird you know. LOL Next time, they came out and we had a really wonderful visit. Couldn't talk them into eating with us though. Guess Buzz was anxious to get to the closest Road Kill Cafe. :)

Most recently we got to enjoy a visit with Okwriter and her hubby. They were coming through on their way to CO. on vacation. We had a lovely afternoon.

I hope I'm not leaving anyone out. I wouldn't take for getting to meet our KTers and hope I get to meet many more as time goes by. I've made some life long friends and cherish everyone of them.

Would I go out of my way, you bet I would.
