I'm in, I'm in, I'm in!!!  Oh, I can't wait.  
So I can put it on my calendar & blow it off at the last minute.
Still sore at missing this year's, especially since Jerry led the dual-sport ride.  Inlove

Kentucky or SE Ohio gets my vote.

Right now I like the SE Ohio idea, but I'm still sore from the ride home yesterday. So, subject to change.

My first choice would be eastern Kentucky, but be careful to not pick a hotel in a dry county. Some cities are wet, but the county is dry.

Southeast Ohio is good fun and lots of people haven't been there yet. Ohio is putting lots of fresh pavement down this summer. I would aim for a location that allows equal access to the Hocking Hills area as well as the great stuff near the Ohio river (Athens?)

Recent ESTN history the newcomers:

ESTN 2005 - Stowe, VT
ESTN 2006 - didn't have one because the National was in Canaan Valley, WV
ESTN 2007 - Sparta, NC
ESTN 2008 - Marlinton, WV
ESTN 2009 - Lake Placid, NY
ESTN 2010 - Sparta, NC

I think the early ESTNs (pre-2005) were in eastern KY or WV. I wasn't around for them. I think Guy knows the history.

Truth be told, you can't beat the riding in NC and TN. But it's always good to mix it up for varieties sake as well as the change in scenery. Plus moving it around spreads the travel requirements around too.

Nope, not a clue. Stowe was my first meet.

However, I'd like to put a vote in for either extreme south-eastern KY (Whitesburg area) or maybe NE TN around Bristol. Some phenomenal roads in that neck of the woods.

In the early years of ST.N the Eastern meets were in Beckley WV around Labor Day..
I vote for SE Ohio, Marietta or Athens  would be a great base.  

If it is held in SE Ohio I can do some leg work checking out hotels and such and I have several routes I ride in the SE part of the state.  I am sure Garry can add some routes in WV and Marietta is also close enough for a long day ride to Eastern KY...
