Todd,
I know exactly where Jackson is, been there 2 times already skiing with
friends and family. I said "driving from East coast would be painful"
thinking about friends and other, URQ owners who would love to be there as
well.
Driving from Chicago is a "long" 2 days trip, so, for guys from NY would be
another, extra day.... Love this place so much, don't get me wrong is just
too far away from Chicago. We should create a list with few, very interested
places (Jackson, Kansas, Denver etc..) posted and asked URQ owners to
"check" the location/locations which they could drive too. We could see
which one would be the most attended one and then we should stay with it. I
would rather go to last interesting place and meet a lot of URQ owners than
have a nice location with only "few" URQ's...
This is just my opinion...
Regards,
Roman W.

Roman,
I think your mistaken about where Jackson is. Its not on the East Coast.
Its Due South of Western Montana on the North Western corner of Wyoming.
Just an FYI. For you from Chicago I would think Denver or Wyoming would be
do able but Denver is definitely closer. You could PROBABLY do that
non-stop if you had a driving partner. Otherwise you'd need a sleepover
spot.
