Me Too, the zoo opens at 9:30

things are not looking good for this weekend for me.......we have new customers coming in with new jobs to print..............sti​ll up in the air

Weather permitting will you make it to MetroZoo on Saturday morning? (The earlier the better)

Are we thinking right around opening time? I should be able to make it around then if not within 30 minutes or so.

I've been in South Florida for 15 years and can't believe their is nothing to do/shoot down here beside:

Metro zoo
train museum
Fairchild Gardens
Perot Jungle
Everglades Holiday Park
Flamingo Gardens
Butterfly world


Is their any other place that's worth going, even if I have to travel a little more South or North?

Not a whole lot, but at some point I'd love to plan a weekend trip through the Everglades to hit up some spots that nobody really gets to... Rent an air boat and some camping supplies.

Can’t make it Saturday, I’m going to my sister’s in Fort Prices. Was looking forward to meeting some local photog. The odd think is that I’ve made trips for meetups with photog but never meet any locals

Jeff will not make it Saturday, Brian (bckane) is a "maybe" so that's 2 out of 4 or 5. Should we reschedule?
