Alana, so glad to see you here!
I sure hope that everyone feels free to post in multiple regional forums. After all, this is a social media website and the point is to socialize!
To that end, I've included links in our info box to the state forums that are in our region.
Speaking of that, I put up a first draft for the info box yesterday. I'd appreciate any feedback regarding the areas included, climate info, etc.
I'm working on a map, too. Thanks!
