It IS expensive to travel, but since I've joined this group of merry fishermen, I consider the FJ's to be my annual vacation broken into shorter time frames. I don't want to see a "north & south" split because I enjoy everyone's company and would like to keep it together. And, I for sure don't fish these things expecting to make any money but do hope for some more bragging rights. I think the locations of the lakes we fish are good as they are but could be expanded based on the input of those of us who fish at least a few each year. This whole deal is just for the fun of it for me.
