Regional Subforums for Hangouts, Campouts, Trip Planning Forum

I dont know if this has ever been suggested or if anyone else has the same thoughts. But it would be nice to me to have the 'Hangouts, Campouts, and Trip Planning' forum have subforums under it that divide the country (and one for international) into regions. I know there are some hangs that happen every year in each region and these could even be stickied under that subforum. I am not sure how far down to divide the regions but at least into quarters(SE, NE, NW, SW) and if room allows list the state abbreviations next to the region name in the subforum heading so people would know what subforum to post in depending on what state the hang would be in. Does anyone else think this would be a good idea, or have any suggesstions to make it easier to find hangouts/campouts in a certain area?

Did somebody pay you to say that? :lol:
It's actually something that is being worked on currently.

I see where this segregation is going. "Separate but equal". Let me just go find my seat at the back of the bus.

You read our minds! It's why we love HF!

It's Angry Sparrows Jedi powers :)

Instead of dividing the country into quarters maybe you could use the same regions used on the Backpacker magazine forums. They use the following:

Mid-Atlantic
DE,MD,NJ,NC,PA,VA,WV

Midwest
IL,IN,IA,KS,MI,MN,MO,NE,OH,OK,ND,SD,WI

Southwest
AZ,CA,HI,NM,NV,TX

Southern
AL,AR,FL,GA,KY,LA,MS,NC,SC,TN

Rocky Mountains
CO,ID,MT,UT,WY

Pacific Northwest
OR,WA,AK

and

Northeast
CT,ME,MA,NH,NY,RI,VT

plus International

That midwest would cover alot of ground...

Texas by itself covers a lot of ground!

I hear of these great spots to hang in Texas, where I live, only to find them an 8 - 10 drive away, at best. :scared:

But it really doesn't matter how you break it down. It will be a pretty good project to undertake and support, IMHO.

There's a mistake on that list I copied in that NC is listed in 2 regions. It should only appear in the Southern region.
