If you do start one, maybe I could drive down, get a motel and come to one of your meetings and get some ideas. Maybe I could come 3 times a year. I'm up for that. I'm about 6 1/2 hours from you. I'm in northeastern Oregon. By LaGrande, over the mountains from Pendleton.
I suggest you spend that travel time setting up your frame and practice. You'll be surprised how fast you learn by putting your hands on the "wheel". Any "mistakes" are lessons at a small cost. Give yourself some lessons!
