Last Saturday Sam (Gandalf) and I met up in Lebanon, MO for a get together and one of the things we talked about was possibly organizing an NT rally for the midwest. This is not to take away from the Dakota rally but just to have an alternative for those folks who can't or won't ride quite that far.
The location we talked about would be Branson, Missouri located about 40 miles south of Springfield, MO.... just about smack dab in the center of the country. To see the mileage distance from your locale to Branson, follow this link.

For those of you not familiar with Branson, it is located in the heart of the Missouri/Arkansas Ozark Mountains (hills to y'all out west) and has some great riding country. Branson is home to more than 70 live music shows and is known as the music show capital of the US. Additionally, Branson has a huge number of available motels, some at really reasonable prices.
This is just in the discussion stage at this point, so I'd like your feedback on this before we proceed any further in organizing it.
If you would take a minute and answer the following questions, it will help us to decide if we should proceed further.
Are you interested in going?
Motel Preference: Economy <$50, Moderate $50 - $85, Luxury >$85
Meals: With group, by myself
Travelling: By myself, with spouse (or significant other)
Length of event: 3 day, 4 day, 5 day
Evening activities: None, music show, sight seeing ride
Daytime activity: Ride, Silver Dollar City, Poker Run, Gimmick Rallye
The reason for the questions are 1.) to ascertain participation and 2.) if enough interest is there we can put together and attractive package deal including meals, shows, activities, etc. that would be a significant savings. If you just want to relax while your there, that's fine too, just let me know.
If you would prefer to PM me with your thoughts, please do so.
Thanks!
Mike
