That depends on the Meet. Some Meets are only a day, others start on a Friday night with the official Meet on a Saturday, then a small get together over breakfast before Sunday's departure. The National is pretty much the same.
National Meets are logistically difficult to arrange due to the large number of RL's/people in attendance. Usually, there is more than one activity planned with owners deciding which activity they'll attend.
Regionals are easier. Everyone can attend an activity and dinner together because the attendees number around 30 and most activities and large restaurants will handle crowds of that size.
The last National had over 40 trucks. Figure 2 people per truck and you can see the difficulties involved in planning an event of that size.
Some day we will hit one, My oldest son, granddaughter and Daughter-in law still live with us along with my youngest son and our daughter, with Seven people in the house its hard to do anything but pay the bills LOL. We will get there eventually. He should be in his house by May or so depends on how cold it is,renovating a home in the dead of winter and your son is a software engineer is hard work. Great son just not very mechanically inclined, got that from his mother.
Branson is nice and centrally located!!! Not sure about offroading, but it is in the Ozark Mountains. I am sure there would be somewhere close to hill climb.
Branson, MO sounds good to me too. Have talked about going there several times and besides, it's not that far away from where we live. My wife and I had a great time at last year's national meet in St. Louis.
It's still too early to name anything "official", but I am in negotiations with some important people in order to pull off something good for 2008. We are trying to nail that down now.
Why's it taking so long? Well, in the past I was able to pick a weekend, hotel and tell everyone we are ready to go. This year I want to do something even bigger/better and in order to pull that off, it requires more coordination with others.
I am trying for late June to avoid the extra degrees of July/August months. Not sure how lucky I'll be. DO NOT take that as gospel at this point. If I'm told June won't work, I'm taking whatever I can get. It will be worth it.
I can also tell you it's most likely that this will be a combo meet weekend with Element, Ridgeline, CR-V and Odyssey clubs together at a hotel and some separate events for each group to do.
I'll post more as soon as I know anything official enough to post it.
Branson is my vote as well. Beautiful in the Ozarks and centrally located for many folks.
Any kind of food you can think of and lots of hotel choices and because there's so many in a small area, they're all good and competitively priced.
