I'm surprised the bigger ones don't! If you ever need a Colorado hospital, I know a gal and can ask all your anal research questions for you.
Thanks! I was originally thinking Colorado (or at least the Rocky Mountains) for Bethlehem, but my research led me to New Hampshire instead. Maybe someday!
I've never been on a Backstreet pilgrimage at all, though I begged my husband to help me find the "Backstreet" when we were in Orlando. It didn't happen. You've been on a previous fanfic retreat? haha Are there team building activities?
LOL I've never been on a fanfic retreat. My first Backstreet pilgrimage was when Brian and Kevin were inducted into the Kentucky Music Hall of Fame. The ceremony happened to be during my spring break, so I decided to road trip down there with my two BSB friends who live in Illinois. We drove around Lexington and saw all the Brian sites - creeped around the parking lot of Tates Creek High School and ate at Long John Silver's, basically LOL - and then we drove up to Cathedral Domain, the camp Kevin's dad used to run, which was really cool.
Then Rose and I took a road trip to Knoxville, TN a few years ago to go to a convention that Nick, AJ, and Howie were appearing at, and we drove back by way of Lexington so she could do the unofficial Kentucky Cousin tour with me too. And thank god I had been there before because our phones both lost signals in the hills where Kevin's camp is, which is total backwoods Kentucky, and I had to rely on my memory of which way to turn to get us out of there. Our team-building activity was driving up and down this winding mountain road in the pouring rain with "Dueling Banjos" playing and praying we didn't die or get lost LOL.
Oh, and then we went to the Creation Museum on the way home so we could laugh at the exhibits of the Garden of Eden with Adam and Eve chilling with velociraptors (because the Earth is only 4,000 years old so humans and dinosaurs totes coexisted). I locked my keys in my car in the parking lot, which I had literally never ever done before and have never done since. As we waited for AAA to come and unlock the car, the sky got blacker and blacker, and then a massive thunderstorm chased us all the way back to Illinois. Pretty sure that was God smiting us for mocking the Creation Museum. But hey, we made it back in one piece, and my faith in God has been reaffirmed. That was a team-building experience too. LOL
