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

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!

Woo Hoo! Yay for LUGNET!

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
