@ND - John WA Portland and Spokane are not in NW8. We have discussed this previously.

Some NW's are geographically larger, but that is due to flatter or unpopulated terrain.

@ND - Eric PA Considering the extant issues with effectively linking people all the way from Albany to Philadelphia, and also the fact that the current boundaries make X more populated than most other NW's combined, I think it's fine. If all that is left between 10 and 13 is a tiny sliver around Altoona, the possibility of an easy functioning NW across the Appalachians from the big metro areas is slim.

@ND - John WA You can't take all of them since I doubt you have that much carry-on space in the plane.

@ND - Eric PA @ND - Samuel VA I can make arrangements to transport the items back. I will see in what quantities and where, if any, items should be given to various areas able to return them via road.
