First annual California POTN get together.

Sam · 10th of January 2006 (Tue)

Ok, here it is at last. I have narrowed the choices down to three Central California locations based on feedback from the original thread. One thing I have learned in my thirty one years is that you will never please everyone. That being said here are the choices. I was looking at the first weekend in February. If Yosemite is the winner I would like to move it back to May/June so that we can get the killer waterfalls.

I have set the poll to close in one week. That should give everyone a chance to see it.

Looks like Cambria/SLO has taken an early lead. Hearst Castle would be a great trip if we end up there. It would be so funny if we had 15 - 20 of us converge on the tourists with our camera gear

SLO is a great little college town. It is about two hours for us, so we could make it a day trip, or take our truck camper up to my brother's house. So, now we need a definite date, eh?

February 4th and 5th work best for me. My wife is going out of town with friends the following weekend and I'd like to be able to go with her. (hallmark holiday month and all...)

...can't speak for others but Super Bowl weekend is a no go from this corner

gah, what was I thinking.... February 18th weekend good for everyone?

Skip Souza · 11th of January 2006 (Wed)

That's better. Brain fade huh ?

Maureen Souza · 11th of January 2006 (Wed)

Feb. 18th sounds Super!!

thomascanty · 11th of January 2006 (Wed)

I think I can make the 18th work for me.

I realize that all of you actually live in California, but I'm extremely interested in coming to this thing too. I've only been to Cali a couple times and it would be great to meet all of you.

If any one of you fine Cali people want to put a roof over a 21-year-old college student from Washington State for the weekend, I would be very thankful. I take up very little space and can sing, dance, and solve the Rubik's Cube in 17 seconds.

Please drop me a PM if you would like to have me a guest for the weekend.

If not, then does anyone know of a cheap hotel in the Cambria area?

Thanks!

EDIT: Thank you to everyone who was kind enough to offer me their home! Unfortunately, my Spring semester in school now has a conflict for the trek down to California. I wish you all the best!

18th would be a go for me too. Look forward to it. Is it possible to get 20 or so people to agree on the same thing?

I'll answer that when nine more people vote for Cambria

joayne · 11th of January 2006 (Wed)

Oh, man, I hope we meet the weekend of the 18th in SLO or Cambria, although Monterey will work ... I will come in my truck camper which really needs some use! The big question is going to be, "What are we gonna' shoot?" I guess instead of picking up a 500mm f/4L before the meet I will wait to see if someone has one for the 'Swap' part! So, Sam, when are you going to make the cut?

Sam · 12th of January 2006 (Thu)

I set the poll to close after seven days. Some of us don't log in every day and I wanted everyone to have a chance to vote. Tueday we'll know the winning location.

View Poll Results: Where should we all meet up?
Monterey	19	31.15%
Cambria/San Luis Obispo	26	42.62%
Yosemite	16	26.23%
Voters: 61. You may not vote on this poll
