The list larry gives below seems reasonable for DixieLUG; though I would
definitely include both Arkansas and Kentucky in 'The South'.

Oregon would be considered 'NorthWest' United states (completely
opposite of DixieLUG... which would refer to the South, or SouthEast). I
don't know what LUGs exist in the NorthWest, if any.

I'm wondering because I know I'll be in Oregon sometime next year, and I have

The formal meaning of Dixie would either be those states south of the Mason
Dixon line, or alternatively, those states that attempted to secede during the
War between the States.

Whether DixieLUG really includes all of

Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama,
Missisippi, Tennessee, Louisiana, Texas and at least one other state that is
escaping me at the moment (Arkansas??? not Missouri or Kentucky or West
Virginia, I am pretty sure)

would be a question for a DixieLUGger, I guess.

The midwest is a bit more nebulous. I consider the Dakotas to be part of the
great plains. There is some debate about whether MO and KY are in or out.

(...) Kentucky's in the South, I agree, although it snows there quite a bit. Some would argue whether it's in Dixie. It's north of the Mason Dixon line and didn't secede. :-) ++Lar (25 years ago, 21-Apr-00, to lugnet.org.us.dixielug, lugnet.org.us.gmlug)
