Good stuff guys. Here's how the driving shakes out from the Washington DC/Annapolis Md area.

GYC - 16 hrs
ATL - 11 hrs
Bham - 12 hrs
Myrtle Beach SC - 8 hrs (Kris must go the back way)
Roton Point Conn - 6 hrs
Racine Wisconsin - 13 hrs

My votes.
Yes - Doing a fall event. Air may be cooling but water is still warm.
Yes - Makeing it a 3 or 4 day event makes it worth a drive.
Yes - Have a vote at the GC and set up a leadership structure.
