Dean, make that Nunavut, just checked the spelling. It is listed as Canada's newest territory.

Very good Dean, I'm impressed

I would be inclined to count the territories as a bonus if there are any people here. Not sure how much teardrop camping they would do up there.

Nunavet became a territory in 1999. Originally it was part of the Northwest Territories.

Here is where we stand;

Prince Edward Island (in honor of Prince Edward, father of Queen Victoria)
Saskatchewan (swift-flowing river)

Canadian Territories with no members (Winter Warrior Candidates)

Ontario (beautiful lake or sparkling water)

You go Dean!

If I had a nickel for everytime my Canadian cousins said, "You don't know the provences? We had to learn the US states in grade school."

But that's OK, They say things like "about" and "sorry" funny so I get to make fun of them a-boat that Ehh? (sp?)

I noticed on the Guest Map that there is a member by the name of Lawman from Beckley, WV (His icon is setting in Georgia)
Could this fellow be from West Virginia?
Lawman,
Please step forward and verify if this is so, then I can cross West Virginia off of the list.

Can I volunteer to live in Hawaii?? I'm already fed up with the cold..It hasn't even snowed much yet!!
I "LOVE" New York!!

 

[Anonymous]

I'm headed over there this Saturday, I'll try to drum up a new member for us, so you don't have to move out of state.

I can't believe we do not have a member from Maine. Being the end (or head) of the Appalachian Trail (Springer Mountain to Katahdin) and all. Seems like a great place to be a teardrop fan.

I would've thought that Hawaii would be the only state left that didn't have a member.
