And the fact that BECAUSE it is so big, it makes it hard to drive anywhere to have a "real quick" meet. not enough people with 30 minutes or so to have a spur-of-the-moment meet.. and if you expand further to get enough members, then it covers such a large area, that either nobody can commit to going to one place, or (because we are all grown with familes, etc) we can't commit that much time.
