Back in the day I considered the Southern bolters as N.C. S.C. GA. and Tn.
Now, if you look at the top of the Southern Stovebolt page you will see that when divided up the Southern bolters became: N.C. S.C. Tn. Va. Part of Wv. Ga. Al. along with parts of Florida and Ms.
I say this as some bolters that join in may not realize the size of the area we cover....and that is for the other regions as well. Sort of gives us a place to hang our hats and see who is next door!

I just wanted folks to know where they belong. Back when David and I decided to have a Southern "reunion" several years ago we had 15 bolters show up. The last one we had here at my house we had 52 show up.....now with the "bigger" area we should be able to have over a 100. Can you just imagine that, a hundred Bolters in one place.

I'd host one but my driveway is barely big enough for the stuff that I have in it now.

But you wouldn't necessarily need a heater. We drove thru Interior Alaska and Canada on the way to visit our daughter in Juneau, and were wishing the F250 had AC. The Fairbanks area can get to the 90's in the summer. We've been up to 80 here, but that doesn't happen much.
