Jim,

I hate to have to tell you this, but Utah isn't considered part of the 
Nortthwest. However, it gives you great access to RMIHR.

And, in my opinion, RMIHR is where the binder guys and gals are the 
friendliest, the food is the best, and it's so easy to have a great 
time, that if you didn't have a great time, it's probably your own 
fault.

If the elevation weren't so great, and fuel prices so high, we'd be 
back in Salida for sure. Wonderful town among the other RMIHR 
attributes.

So, Northwest is in Brooks, Oregon and is the weekend of July 9,10, 11. 
The Oregon binders have taken the show on for a year, and the program 
looks great and the site at Western Antique Powerlands should be 
wonderful. I really like it when the gatherings are where other things 
are going on, for instance the Western Regionals are held in 
conjunction with a huge antique tractor show.

RMIHR is in Salida the weekend of July 16,17, and 18, at the fair 
grounds in Salida. RV camping available on grounds and some guys tent 
camp there.

I hope for your sake that  you can make either or both of these.

The Nationals are in Springfield, Ohio and you are probably farther 
from there now, than when you were in Texas. They are in the Fall, and 
I don't have the dates at hand.
