Members welcoming fellow members

[Boatycall]

Original post--
You know, I got to thinkin. Those of you who know me know that's dangerous. This is only a thought, I thought I'd throw it out there.

All of us travel. Duh, that's why we have campers. Who all would be interested in putting there names on a list of "Members Welcome". A list of members that welcomes other members to stay the night in their driveway when they're on the road.

Of course, opting-in would be completely optional. My thought here is that a list is done up with only screen names. When a member is planning on being in the area, they forum-email the other member for the address and see if that member is available to welcome guests that night. That way, the address is not out in the public and no unexpected surprises happen.

Just a thought.

We are going to clean out the list and start a new one. Go to the post dated 1-3-2014 for more info.

Here is the latest "cleaned up" list.

And yes, it's a screenshot, not a text-list. Sorry. The forum doesn't support any kind of formatting, like tables or tabs, so when I tried to list it as text it looked like a jumbled mess.

Almost all American Legion Posts and VFW Posts have hook ups for traveling members. Also Moose Lodges have them and I am sure other organizations do so also. If the membership here would just recommend that to the organizations they belong to that do not have facilities it would be a help to those traveling where there are no close by campgrounds. Of course there are those who wouldn't even be willing to kick over 10 to 20 bucks a night to offset some of the expenses so maybe better off to let it go.

Works for me!

On our last trip I started putting where we were at the moment under my signature at the end of my posts...

You'd be surprised at the number of contacts we had.

we visited quite a few people at their invitation... just like we did with you.

It wasn't always possible... but always great when it was.
