Not everyone has a tent or has the time to stay overnight.

And agreeing with an0m.......it would make it a lot farther for the sask people.

We really have to keep this around Central Alberta.

Why not goto Bragg Creek or something. I go quading all the time out that way and love the scenery.

Clearing things up a bit:

I am not saying we have to stay in Drumheller overnight. I just figured it would be a good place for everyone to meet up and get some unique pictures. We can always go to the Museum as well and check out the dinosaurs.

But if after the pics people want to head back to Red Deer and make a night of it, then have at it boys and girls! I personally will be heading back to Calgary after Drumheller.

Yeah. If it does get relocated I may organize a second meet for the express purpose of getting some badland photos. We can pretend we drove to Nevada!

Yeah true......just if we stay in the park you get raped on park fees and camping fees or a hotel. My weekend trip with the g/f last October cost me close to a $1000.

But the pics are badass.

thats a good idea, I like it. he has been pushing for it for a long time now. we want a big meet lets do this. its a drive yes, but a good drive.

the cost fo the parks is not that expensive, and as for overnight, bring a damn tent or sleep in your car. jeez, you dont need hotels. i have a spare tent i could lend out, actaully 2 if i can dig up my parents tent. im sure if we all get together on this idea we can make it happen and keep it decently low budget

i think we should organise this one for a little later though, let this meet get sorted first
then we can open up a thread and figure the big drive out.
