OK so I tried to add myself to the Google map (didn't work, but that's because I don't know computer stuff very well) and I noticed that the majority of the HF personnel are on the East Coast. I was just wondering if that is do to a demographic and cultural thing or is that just the way it has worked out thus far.
I know for the Subaru forum I am on the majority of us live in the Pacific North West and out of that majority most of them are in the Western side of Washington and Oregon. And yes for us it is a vernacular cultural thing. For some reason subies are now driven by the ex vw/hippie type people or at least have some of that mentality if yourof the younger generation (like me.)
Actually it goes more like this old school subie's owners are more red neck/hillbilly/white trash and the new suby owners (outbacks, foresters, etc) owners are your yuppie, professional, outdoorsy, latte drinking REI clothes wear type people. But it also goes either way in some cases. And yes are weather/climate/terrain and outdoor activism/activities make a suby the perfect car for this area so it is only natural that they are like flies on poo around here. Which is good for me since I am a suby mechanic
So is that somewhat of the case here. Is it because of the tall lodge pole style trees and the very woodsy type forest you guys have over on the east coast vs our huge, scraggly, twisty, knotted and Alpine terrain that we have over here on the west coast which dictates the style of hiking we do. Or it could it just be that it started over there first and is taking it sweet time getting over here. or more then likely OTHER......
Any way just have been pondering it for a few day and figured I would see what you guys have to say about it.
