2017 BMW MOA National location?

It is what it is.
How about Bloomington, MN? We already have an appropriate Rally Logo, Rally Patch and tons of Rally Logoed stuff in our official store inventory.
Google is your friend if my suggestion is not obvious.

I think your assumption is incorrect about having tons of rally logo stuff left over from the previous rally. That was the old paradigm.
2017 location
Once again I have been misunderstood. What I was trying to convey is that there already exists a large variety of 2017 National Rally branded choices if the location turns out to be Bloomington.
I suppose it's not really funny if you gots to 'splain it.

Boise is totally unsuitable. Too hot. It is known as "Furnace Creek East".

Sorry Buddy. Montana was last year.
2017 has to be farther west.
I'm hoping for Washington state.

look out!!!

"Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood."
Of course you have to hear the music in your head to have that make any sense.

I was in Boise for the BMWRA Rally in 2006. The weather was great and not Too Hot. But I live in Phoenix, AZ so of course Boise would not be too hot.
I think it would be a great spot for the 2017 BMWMOA Rally.

I thought BMW MOA riders were tuff? I totally could see a grizzled old 80 year old rider saying, "One Hundred degree temps in July... Bring it on!"

Last time I was in Boise in July it was 105. That's too hot to be fun. For me anyway. I simply wouldn't go. YMMV. And I've been to 31 of the last 32 rallies.

Rub that ranger tab Kevin. It'll keep you cool on a hot national.

But...it's a DRY heat! Nights tend to cool down nicely. And the Boise fairgrounds is only minutes away from being up in the mountains on the way to Idaho City.
Now St. Paul, that was HOT. Three showers a day and still couldn't get or stay comfortable, felt like I had a wet towel on my back most of the time. Escaped to my brother's house in Mendota Heights for sleeping...
Best,

Paul,
I won't say Boise doesn't get warm but please consider the attached screen shot. In the thirty-three years I've lived in ID, I've never not ridden because of the heat and seldom because of the cold. Ride easy,

"A dry heat..." Kind of like an oven? LOL
But...I'd take it compared to that Midwest sticky heat (I'm originally from northern Iowa). Some darned pretty country in Idaho. And...they have potatoes.
Cheers!

Idaho is one of my three or four favorite summer states. We leave the Texas Big Bend every summer for three or four months. I would never suggest where I live (Terlingua, Texas) for a July rally. We usually go northwest. Idaho, Washington, British Columbia, Hyder, Alaska, etc.
But that is Stanley, and Bonners Ferry, and Sand Point, and Lewistown - not Boise. Last time I was headed to Boise, as mentioned, it was 105 in July. The heat was killing me. I jumped right on ID 21 and headed to Stanley.
There are many beutiful spots in Idaho. With all regards to my friend Greg Feeler, Boise is not one of them.
