OMG is right. I'm 30-something and haven't joined for reasons as echoed above. I don't complain about the WBCCI as I'm doing nothing to help change things. But perhaps it's useful for those who want to save the WBCCI and return it to what Wally wanted to hear the opinions of those who haven't joined or who have let their memberships lapse.
My two cents' worth is that I think many more people (myself included) would be interested in joining if the club was run like Four Corners. From what I've heard, those guys look like they've got it down pat. Show up and camp, make new friends, sit around the campfire. Easy peasy, relaxing.....
