On the forum homepage, there is a link to "Database" on the left side. When you
go there, you will find a Database named 'Member to Member' that can be sorted
by the state column. There are only about 130 members that have listed their
contact information however.

Well not in SF, but the far south bay area...Hollister!
There are a handful of Blue Bird owners in the general area. I would recommend
coming out to the Quartzsite Rally in January, its a good opportunity to meet
Blue Birders from the west as well as from around the nation.

You can email me direct robertbritton@...
