You guys should definitely put it out there. Be great to get some together, and being in your area I'm sure there would be some willing to drive pretty far to gather, even if it was just for burgers and a cold drink.
We use yahoogroups.com up thisaway. The old
bronco@yahoogroups.com e-mail list was going to be for anyone, then anyone in CA, then it just sort of whittled down to Northern CA folks doing the regular business. Still plenty of members from other regions hanging out though, so I bet if you put it out there you'd get some action. We even get Dusty joining the conversation from way down south now and then, and had a few come up from SLO for weekend BBQ's we used to have in San Jose now and then.
You might even find that there's a group e-mail just from Central CA all on it's own. Worth looking into anyway.
And mentioning it here is a good start.
