who is

not going to the NTA???
money and health keeping us from trying to make it

Bidenomics and the inflation that comes with it is keeping me home. Was wanting to attend but just can't afford it.

The wife requires care throughout the day and has for nearly 10 years now. I do miss the ability to attend the many conventions and visiting with everyone. I do miss the atmosphere in general I must say. I hope everyone that attends has a great time and appreciates the moment.

Me is just time. A little far to travel. Would really like to go, really like the atmosphere.

Haven’t been to a national in too many years. Travel cost is keeping us from attending. Probably won’t make the state convention either this year.

I dont want to drive through IL or go around through MO KY IN and MI

Me! I’m a lifetime NTA member but I’m also not much of a glad-hander so I try not to attend any conventions.

Not me. It probably would be fun to take the train to escanaba. No way I would drive.

I could go through MN. Take 90 into WI but just to far for me this year. Been through the UP many times and like that part of the world. Not a NTA fan but I like the comradery.

Health issues

I cannot

Finances and distance preclude me from going

Would love to go, but just too busy. Hopefully next year.

Me this time as much as I want to go. Trying to make it to the Black hills for Sal to experience and see if he wants to move back. Trying to avoid rally time.

We had planned on going. Wife is having a procedure at Mayo in Rochester that Friday. Routine but necessary.

Could run up I 29 through the Dakotas and cross over Northern Minnesota and avoid most of the liberal BS in MN. Duluth would be the only Liberal enclave you have to go through

Looks like we in good company

Danny the libs whipped you into staying home . Shame on you

As much as I would like to go, I will miss it this year.

Figure I pushed my luck enough running around armed in IL. Going to stay home and earn money stead of spend it this year

Not me waiting on the election. Did not make the VTA hope to make Bland for a few hours.

I will be there. Retired now so planning on going to the Nationals. Then leaving there with the camper and doing some sight seeing on the way back home.
Looking forward to next year in South Dakota. Then head to a buddies house and checkout Badlands Mt Rushmore and the rest of the sights out there.

Des Moines - Dubuque - Madison - Green Bay - Escanaba, that is the route I take to Oklahoma as I will not go through IL either.

We won't make it either. Too far again.
