Mean driving distance was one reason for selecting Coos Bay, OR, for our three GMC club event. Within the western GMC clubs we have members in several Provinces of Canada all the way to the Mexican border and everywhere west and a bit east of the Rocky Mountains. Coos Bay is close to the north/south center of that region (but there are far more GMCs south than north of that point). If you draw a circle using Coos Bay as the center point and San Diego as the southern point, you will pick up the majority of the GMC coaches that live in the west (but, again, there are far more GMCs east of that arc than there are west of that arc). Combine that with how beautiful the west coast is in October and we think it is a fair and winning combination. If you used population density alone as the location metric there would never be a rally much north of the greater LA basin. Come join us, still plenty of room and time whether you drive your GMC, a car, a SOB or fly in.

It's not about geographic and general population centers, where are the GMCs located? Then we can start talking about mean driving distance and such. If the general GMC population and not just the Black list were charted, that would be an interesting third graphic.

This would also be useful for the smaller chapters' rallies and determing driving distances. Maybe that's where it should start? Having each GMC chapter of the FMCA chart their members - town alone would probably be fine enough detail.

Dan, aka Kudzu, has done a nifty job putting the Black list onto Google Maps. Maybe he's up for a little more self-punishment...? ;) If you need a hand, Dan, let me know. I figure I have to volunteer for volunteering you.
