Anyway I had an Idea for a regional "LUGMAP" that would give a general idea of
the regions that each LUG covers.  I know that I have received many inquirys as
to whay region we cover and what other regions have groups.  This is especially
the case with visitors coming in from outside the US that are unfamiliar with
the regional breakdowns of the US.

Excellent idea. I've received those same requests myself.

So anyway here is a little map that I threw together.  I made a general guess
as to the regions covered by each LUG so this should be looked on more as an
idea than something that has been made public.

Nice map. However, both of the California-based entities cover a bit more ground
than that. I won't go so far as to say split the state in half, but I know that
LUGOLA covers more territory than this and I'd assume that BAYLUG does as well.
Considering the San Diego-based requests to join in our next meeting, I think
LUGOLA can safely claim the three hour drive time from SD to LA and everything
in between. Heh, heh...we control Legoland, Carlsbad now! BwaHAHahahahahaha!
Next stop-Las Vegas! We want it all, baby!

Now I doubt that NELUG is the best place to host this so I was thinking what we
need is a LEGO Users Group "Network" where general information can be stored.
Wait a minute we already have one of those!!!  It's called LUGNET, well blow me
down.  Anyway I would not presume that I think LUGNET should be the home for
such a map and I am perfectly happy to keep in on NELUG but if there were
concensis that this should be on LUGNET and Todd decided it was a good idea I
would be happy to maintain it here instead of on NELUG.

Woo Hoo! Yay for LUGNET!

This would also translate well to the LTC groups as well and I would be happy
to make a map for them as well if people would like to see one.  The only
problem is it would probably be best to have a separate map for the LTCs just
because they overlap regions with some of the LUGs so to keep things clear I
would probably be best to keep them separate.

LTCOLA or LALTC? Interesting idea. I suspect we could only claim a single member
though...Hmmm...LALTG- Los Angeles Lego Train Guy...I'll have to talk to him
about it...lol

Anyway let me know if you think something would be a good idea.  If the
responses are positive enough I will set up a page on NELUG and start
maintaining this on a regular basis as needed.
