I can certainly appreciate your position but my point remains that a good percentage of attendees next year will never have gone to an MOA rally and another good segment have never gone to Redmond due to attrition, growth, and personal ability within the MOA populace in what will be nine years hence.Please don't get me wrong, I'll be riding to the west coast. I just don't want to go to the exact same site. I'd love to do something along the Pacific Coast Highway. I'd love to do something in BC (I personally enjoyed Trenton). I am looking at a trip to Utah. I just really don't like the idea of the same exact site. I'm from Ohio, but I wouldn't want to do Lima again, nor would I want to do Midland, MI or any of the other eastern or midwest locations again. And in all honesty, I'd go to Del Rio, TX if it were there. We've never been there. I use the rally as an opportunity to see new places, enjoy new restaurants and new roads, and to see some of my old friends. Same roads, same restaurants, and only 8 years since the last time. We haven't done a rally in St Louis that I'm aware of. If we're talking about doing an "easy" rally, let's do it right next to the club offices. How much easier could you get? I'd be all for a rally in Nebraska or Colorado or New Mexico. Just any place I haven't already been. One man's thoughts.
So, there hasn't been a rally in Cedar City, Utah before but I see a western regional is coming up in September. Trust me when I tell you there is no finer motorcycle road in America than Hwy 95/24/12 through Glen Canyon, Capital Reef and Escalante Canyon. It's a road dreams are made of. If you can't do Redmond because of redundancy, I would highly recommend Cedar City.
