Summertime is a good time to travel for many people. Any ideas or thoughts about an Alberta group meetup?
I would love to see a saturday afternoon barbeque somewhere. I would travel up to about 2 hrs. And 2bluiz would come with me. (maybe I should ask her first...)

Hey, I would love to meet you gals (and guys if any ???). Mid July is a good time for me (it is a 3 paycheque month). But I don't know Calgary at all and would be a big fraidy cat driving in the city. A small town close by perhaps?????
Count me in

Well, that's great! We'll see who else replies. Otherwise, we could meet you somewhere half way even.
Let's see what happens first. (would love to meet you anyway)

I was thinking Red Deer, but there's IAM coming from Medicine Hat! Unless we wait for her here, and all 3 drive up to Red Deer. Maybe you and Sierratoo can drive down together from Edmonton, if she wants to come.
Surely there are other women in Edmonton who've been on Ab Chat who would come. And men-where's the MENFOLK at!!!
Edited to delete a naughty comment......sorry - bad imagination, bad bad. My fingers type the word MEN and my brain just takes right off on another fantasy flight. Sheesh. The voices stop and the pictures start. Drives me

Good idea, FR. I probably would even consider commuting to 'wherever' with you. There seems to be more interest now than when we tried to get people together before. It's just a shame that it's just women. (No offense ladies .... you're a great bunch! But this is DATEhookup & I don't want to date any of you.  )

My heart jumped into my throat when Red Deer was mentioned because wouldn't that mean I would have to drive thru Calgary to get there? But Miss Rose, that is a great solution. If you left me to wander around in Calgary by myself I would probably land up in Yahk, B.C. 
Or I could just get myself a map and go cross country. I wounder how long it would take to drive that far? to Red Deer I mean. Calgary is 3 hours I think.

I've never been to Yahk! Any men THERE?? I know what you mean 2bluiz - it is wonderful to have girlfriends,  but there is still the desire for a man. Girlfriends are great to talk to, but when I get tired of talking, well, there are other things one can do, and again the mind strays into the gutter - where the MEN at!!!
Edited to add: Wisediva is also coming further as she is past Edmonton. There was one Edmonton thread, and I could not believe how many people responded, yet no get-together planned! 
As 2bluiz said, we tried to organize something before, and emailed probably 50 people, and 3 of us showed up. WOW!
Makes one wonder if people really are looking to meet someone, or on here because they are just checking the dating temperature, or they are so shy they won't come out from behind the screen? No idea. I don't expect to meet "the" man at a meet-up, just get to know some of the personalities beyond the typos! LOL They have regular meet-ups in the U.S with good turnouts according to the threads. If there is ever one in the NW states, I will go.

Iam, Red Deer is about 1.5 hrs from Calgary. I doubt you'd get lost ..... you'd just have one turn in Calg. I'd be Red Deer that might lose you, depending where in RD we met. Anyone familiar enough with RD to make a suggestion? Seems to me I saw someone on AB Chat was from RD.
As for you FR, I'd say "get your mind out of the gutter" but then mine would be lonesome there by itself! 
As for Yahk .... Sure, that'd be okay with me. lol. Such a lovely drive thr' that area.... back & forth over the Moyie River.

It's just a place I will always remember, drove through there on a holidays years ago.....got a tshirt there that said "I have been to Yahk and back" Isn't it on the most southern highway in BC?, closest to the USA border?

Well, just great you all....now I want to go to Yahk. Seems I'm the only one who's never been there.
Only thing I know about Red Deer is where the chinese buffet is....go figure....
Oh yeah, and a cheap motel. No further comment forthcoming.

Cheap Motel works for me too... Are boy friends invited? 
Yes iam it is the most southernly hwy in BC, I lived just south of there in a pop. 16 or so cluster (too small to even call a village  ) called Kingsgate right on the border. It was a great place when you a kid. My Mom & sisters & I want to take a trip back there.

Think Yakh will have to be vetoed as a meeting place in favour of something more to the NE .... &1 prov. over. (as much as I love the idea of going back to BC (for a VISIT only!!!) Red Deer seems to be the consensus.
I don't know about allowing FR her seedy hotel AFTER our 'Meet & Greet'. Not if Iam & I drive up with her. Maybe if we take my car & then just leave her there? (Don't worry, my friend, I'd never do that to you)

Ok, HEEELLLLLOOOOO - where did I say seedy? My word was Cheap! And, see - Wisediva has already found my information helpful! Of course you can bring your boyfriend. It will remind what one looks like!!
And 2bluiz & Iam, I would never ditch a GF either, not even for a man and a cheap hotel.
I don't think I would....
Nah, probably not....

Iam, no offense taken, we're just having fun! At least I am. I don't really go to seedy hotels. For that matter, unless I'm paying, I don't go to cheap ones either!
And I'll always be someone's friend if they go to chinese buffet with me! We'll plan for that, because by the time you get here from Medicine Hat, you will be hungry, so we will go to chinese buffet in Calgary. Then we'll drive the 1 3/4 hrs to Red Deer at which time we will meet Ms Wisediva who will have driven 2 hrs and be hungry, so we will go to chinese buffet there. Oh, I am so excited!!

Something has come up girls, that will make it impossible for me to partake in this adventure. I start another Part time job on Saturday. (It is a necessary evil). I had inquired about it some time ago but had heard nothing until yesterday so, being of limited funds, I jumped at the chance to make more money. So, I will be working 7 days a week now. 
But, someday we will meet.

If Aug. is out, that leave July since June is almost over. Sept. is too far in the future. Is there anytime in July any of you CAN'T make it?

From the 9th to the 19th, I have a little boy for respite, so depends where/what we plan.
If it is an afternoon barbeque in someplace with a playground, I'm ok.
My preference would be to meet when I do not have him, or I may be too preoccupied to really enjoy myself.

So looks like we're narrowing it down to July 4, 5, 25, or 26. I'm taking it for granted that weekends are best for most of us? Feedback?????

Don't matter much - seems to be getting down to you and me again...... and I think wisediva, if she is still in.
Unfortunate Iamperson is so busy working right now, but then work is very important.
By the way, Thursdays there seems to be a gathering at the A&W on 4 street NW, 16 ave - two weeks ago was muscle cars & last week was motorcycles. Lots to see - cars, cycles, ...men....
