[SCWDP911]

Well, here is why I was asking...

A few of us have been working on plans to resurrect the SCWDP Roundup that used to occur. We have decided to call it something else, but the main thing was trying to decide to where to have it. This led me to some online research and I searched the US for something that would fit the purpose (meaning I was looking for cities/towns called something like Porsche, Carrera, Plot, Domination, yada yada yada...). I was coming up empty. The closest thing I had found was a Carara, AL. It is south of Talledega, AL, which could be a cool place, but we were really looking for something a little more centralized.

So then last night, I got this idea to type in Ferdinand. Bingo! There are a couple of Ferdinand's in the US, the most central being in IN. It is right off od I-64 and close to the Hoosier National Forest, Frenchlick, and other places. There is at least one newer motel there, a Comfort Inn. The idea kind of struck me maybe calling it something like the Ferdinand Fling.

This is just one idea, but I kind of liked the "ambience" of it all so to speak. It looks like (at least from Mapquest) that there are some nice roads in the area, but I wanted to find out from someone that is up there or at least familiar with the area. I was born in Logansport, IN (1 hour north of Indy) but grew up in California and RI. When my dad retired, we moved back to where my mom's family was from in Cass County (Walton). That is where I graduated from H.S> I know of Frenchlick for the obvious reason, but not real familiar with the area in general.

So with that, those of you who have answered up, what do you think?
