I'm always green with envy when I see diaries or comments about DKos regulars who can get together easily in Chicago or DC or SF or wherever. Anyone else feel that way?
I'm smack dab in the heart of Appalachia and I'd love to know who else is nearby in my state or near enough for a regional assembly - even for a picnic in some state or national recreation site (Cumberland Gap, anyone?). And I'm thinking that there are probably many other rural DKos-ites who might also feel like a tiny speck of blue in a field of red.
So, if you're outside a major metropolitan area and occasionally get the urge to reach out and actually touch another liberal / progressive / blue-green voter outside-your-own-household, leave your specifics below and a clue for how others could reach you - e.g., I'm in Wise, Virginia, near the state's borders with KY, TN, NC, and WVa and here's my e-mail address.
Thanks for responding...
always the mountains,
