List:

I'm game. Something in early November (all my October weekends are booked) work? And where? I'll drive ~3 hours no problem each way.

Maine even?

I'll bring everything I've got in the car so others can play/borrow crap for the day.

November 3rd or 4th?

Anywhere in NE is fine by me, Ill be in Boston with in-laws so Ill be pretty much central location to anywhere. Im a lighthouse addict, I know there are some really great ones in Maine that I have never seen. Any other ideas?

Yeah, I'd be down for Maine for sure. I think I could even get the wife to come with (and not bitch about us stopping).

Acadia?
And I'm pretty sure the Nov 3rd/4th works for me. I'll double check tonight with the boss.

3rd or 4th? is sat. and sun. Sat would be best for me. Cant do 5th or 6th. my wife will be comming.

yeah, sorry, 3rd/4th.

Any other texans want a part of this?

"I don't want a piece of you, I want the whole thing!!!!"


mod points if you know the movie?!!!

Happy Gilmore.

The price is wrong, bitch.

10 mod points to Ted!
"You could trouble me for a warm glass of SHUT THE HELL UP!!!"

What's a mod point? Does that get me any closer to having my 5th camera back under my name?

Sure, get enough and you get 5 and not the 5 you'd get with enough posts...

So I could get to be a mod because of my all-encompassing knowledge of 90's comedy flicks starring Adam Sandler?

Sure, why not...
Hell I'm the only mod as it sits now. Obviously I've kept the requirements low...

Then I'm a shoe in.

I think most people not from texas underestimate it's size.

yep, I think you're right...

Dallas to Austin (what I'd guess most of you would have to drive to get together, 195 miles):

me to ME (354 miles):
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=e...91504&z=6&om=1

unless you're commenting on how far all you texans would have to go to find something worth shooting, then yeah, you've got a long ways to go... :P

I could bring my little P&S and take snapshots of you professionals....

Sounds like it would be a lot of fun, and I wouldn't mind learnin me some stuff. I'll have to make sure we don't have anything planned for that weekend and I'll be in.

Actually, the fall colors are supposed to be hitting Lost Maples State Park here in the next week or two. Could be fun, although the place will be overrun with touristy fall-leaf-o-philes getting in the way.

"touristy fall-leaf-o-philes getting in the way"

Stime and I will go hang out in the NC mountains or something.

Screw you guys to the North and the West.

IMO it wouldn't be worth it unless we knew a few key places to shoot ... might be better for you guys (and maybe me) to meet much more in the south and spend more time exploring on foot for good locations. Portsmouth, Kittery, Ogunquit, Portland?

Im open for anything, I dont mind driving up to Acadia either, if a bunch of us train it will be pretty fun and can make for some interesting photos.

i would love too, but the drive from houston to either is kind of far. when i get in to austin, tardy and i were going to try to do some shooting.

and nov. 3rd is my bday.

DO IT! 3 way could be fun...

Yeah, I'll ask the wife what she thinks, but I'm down for Acadia for sure. If it's just me I'll bring the tent, if she comes we'll get a hotel/B&B for Saturday night.

I was debating about staying up there in the Bar harbor area, as I havnt been there in years. Not to mention the potential for early morning shots. Depends on the wife.

This is just begging for some kind of TX get-together/debauchery.

This sounds cool.

Maybe once there's somebody in WI/Chicago we can do this, I could probably learn a lot.

Make sure you all share the pics, I wanted to take the lady to arcadia NP this fall but she wasn't convinced it'd be cool enough.

mine is on the 2nd

Well, mine is in June, but I'm still willing to party with you guys. I'm just that giving.

updated list to include no mans land between New England and Texas

And where the hell is that? I don't see that on my ignant "if you ain't from 'round here, then **** you!" map.

we could just say it is on the 4th.

i will be in austin that work week, but they send me home on thursday and i will be back on sunday.

I just don't know if I'd be able to make it... according to my "observations" I think the wife may have something up her sleeve for that weekend.

I might be interested depending on when/where.

me to ME (354 miles):

me to Lost Maples State Park (near San Antonio): 385 miles.
me to Big Bend National Park (near Mexico): 590 miles. (Not that anyone's suggested it, but it's still in the state, and not even the farthest thing away (that would probably be the Franklin Mountains State Park, at 676 miles away) so yeah, TX is big (bigger than NE)).

I don't really know of anything cool that's relatively equidistant between Dallas, Austin and Houston, though. Somewhere near Austin is probably the best, I suppose.

I could be talked into another road trip out there. And we don't have to do our thing on the same weekend as the yanks, so if some time else works better with your schedules let everyone know.

Google maps says that's about a 10 hour, 41 minute drive from my house, so that's probably out for me, unless it's an extended vacation type thing (3-5 days) and possibly carpool with someone else, too. Isn't Big Bend sort of near Copper Canyon in Mexico, though? I've seen some great pics from Copper Canyon.

Well, it's closer than your house is. From Big Bend it's less than an hour to Presidio over one of the best roads in the world. Cross there, then head to Chihuahua which takes about 4 hours. Then on to Creel, which is about another 4 hours. I think it's a little over 300 miles from the border to Creel, but traveling is much slower in Mexico.

If we were to do Copper Canyon, I would need about 2 weeks to get my fill.

So for the NE team. Who lives near (or know a lot about) Bar Harbor want to look into cheap places to stay? Looks like me and the wife will be coming. She said I need to make sure I get crap done around the house these next few weekends to be able to go (I have crap every weekend from now till then, except it's all one day things leaving the other day free). So I need to keep up with my chores/honey do list and I'll be good to go.

We're either coming up from noon on Saturday till noon Sunday or hopefully we could come up Friday night. But that will depend on room rates and other factors.
