Do you try to mix in other things to do besides attending the convention? I usually go straight to the convention and come straight back home unless there is something to see directly on the route to and from.

I got myself a seniors' GPS. Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination, it tells me why I wanted to go there.

I got myself a seniors' GPS. Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination, it tells me why I wanted to go there.

wissmiss trapper W Joined: Jan 2007 Posts: 16,702 north Idaho	About 1600 miles each way. But that was when I was much younger!! Made several trips to the WTA in Marshfield, Wisconsin. Also Marshfield when the NTA was there. An NTA in Iowa, one in Kansas, a couple in Minnesota. Most of those were driving. Gas was a lot cheaper then. And they were buying/selling trips, not just socializing. As far as western conventions, about 700 miles each way when the western NTA was in New Mexico. That was a total DUD of a convention!! www.usedtraps.com Please check out my updated inventory of Native American books.

Back when the coon market was good, we loaded up on duke dps and 1.5s. Flirted with Miss Wisconsin for awhile, got extremely drunk and woke up with standing water and mosquitos in our tent. Pretty good storm blew through that night. Had less than 10 dollars to my name by the time I got back to MO. Good times.
