There's a simple solution to that problem, James.

What's that then?

Let them come to us. Organize the World Meeting in Europe.

well I'd love to however it would have to be in the US. I don't see me being able to cross the pond any time in the near future..........

I hear what you're saying, Stefan, but what about the Garter field herping trip? No Garters in Europe. Plus the majority of our members are from the US.

Besides, do we really want all those Americans over here (again)?

sounds like a lot of fun to me!!!! As we get closer to a posible idea....need to make sure of the regulations in the area we are going. If we are collectiong snakes inCalifornia...you have to have a fishing license....Kansas requires a hunting license to catch reptiles (silly, yes). Utah is beautiful also....lots of wandering garters and we might be able to get Brian Eager to show us where a few valley garters are....

The garter field herping trip sounds a bit ambitious, too. Who knows of a good herping spot within reasonable distance of a city with a major airport? It just looks like it's a lot of extra travelling.

Right, no garters in Europe, except for that tiny population in southern Sweden. But there are 198 other herps in Europe, that don't get the attention they deserve.

Plus the majority of our members are from the US.

Still, it's only fair that they too have to leave the country for the meeting.

Come on, they're okay in small doses.

Hey now!!!...be nice!!! We are not ALL that bad!! LOL!
I think it is a wonderful idea that can easily be acheived with a little dedication!! I am so excited to attend this!! I will definatly help set it up!!

Just wanted to say...cannot be easter time..have to be with family. As for summer herping..I catch ALL kinds of snakes on hot summer days!! Garters can be found during the day out and about as for the others they come out when the sun goes down!! I think it is a great time to go herping other than when they first come out of hybernation..that would be the very best time.

I think we have a consensus on the date now, Jenny. Not my personal choice... but the will of the majority! July '09.
