Nearest Metro Area To You....


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

What is your nearest metro area? I am attempting to start a compilation of

grip enthusiasts' locations for possible events.

I will start. I am about 150 miles from Dallas and Houston both. Texas that is. :D

I will keep the compilation current, God willing. :rock

Yeah I agree with Ben this is a good idea Bonzi. A good substitute for the Member Map that mysteriously disappeared (haha)
