Default How about a Google Maps listing of favorite meets?

I created a collaborated Google map to list all our favorite meet locations.
Anybody can edit it through the following URL.
http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF&msa=...e6b8733c474921e
It's otherwise unlisted, so hopefully we won't get much vandalism but if so I can always close it off to only specific Google accounts.

I think it would be good to not only have specific one-time meets like driving tours, but also locations for regular weekly/monthly meets. So if you know of anything, put it on the map! Include date and time information for everybody too.

You can indicate specific addresses, drop a pin in any location, and draw lines and shapes. I don't see a way to add actual driving directions, unfortunately...

You can add your home location if you want, but remember that this map is viewable by anybody who knows to above URL so they'll have the location your S2000 is garaged.

Might need to use TinyURL since Google Maps links are quite long.

Oops, crap, I edited the display text but not the actual URL. It's been fixed.
