We decided to pull the plug because it did not seem to be an idea that was being embraced as something QJers were interested in doing. Our first thought was to have it in Duluth area. When we were informed about where QJ 'hits' were coming from, we moved it to TC.

One thought is to have it in conjunction with Midwest Mountaineering's Spring Outdoor Expo, but we are not 'married' to that idea. If something else works better, in either the TC, Duluth, or elsewhere, we will consider it. While we realize that having this 'discussion' will produce varied opinions, we also hope it will produce some solid interest and some consensus.

One thing we want to avoid, is to be competing with the already well established QJ rendezvous at Copia, March 11-13 in Madison. We are supportive of that event, and plan to attend it. We hope many QJers will take advantage of that opportunity. We want whatever happens in Minnesota to complement that event.

I think we are open to any and all suggestions/ideas about when and where a rendevous should be held. Feel free to post your ideas/suggestions here.

We also hope that Riversend will reconsider his position.

Please note that I have posted a new poll to give feedback.
