Here's a thought:

What if we organized a HUGE Thamnophis.com meeting.... somewhere in the US, at some time in the future? We could gather members from all over The States and Europe, and have a great get-together for two or three days. Maybe even with a day of field herping thrown in?

Obviously this would be quite expensive for some of us, so a lot of forward planning would be needed. We would need to consider;
Location, somewhere easily accessible for the maximum number of members, but with interesting herps.
Season, of course we want good herping weather, but we need to consider school holidays etc.
Proximity to airports, for obvious reasons.
Availability of accommodation.
Maybe even export permits, we Europeans might want to bring something home!

This is just the very beginnings of a plan. I need you guys to 'flesh out the bones' if you think it's a good idea.
