CALIFORNIA Meet Up #6: Fall 2008

I figured having 15 people with L lenses standing on the sideline would really freak the other team out.

We sure scared the humming birds at Dwight's.

This meet looks promising and early/mid October looks OK right now.

OK, updates from the social secretary. The first weekend is not OK and the last weekend is OK for me but Madaleine has a seminar.

Well damn! Another one and I am gone. Just make sure you keep them going after Feb. I will be shooting with you all in spirit. I have found there isnt a whole hell of a lot to shoot here except sand, sand, brown buildings, and sand.

We will throw a special one where ever you want when you get home. We'll make it extra special to make up for the ones you missed.

Stay safe and THANK-YOU for all you are doing for us!!!

Thanks! I cant wait to get back to Lompoc although I will need a snow suit when I get back (Attatched pic explains, and NO there is no PS done to make it look like that!!!) It will be good to actually be able to attend one of the meet ups.

Look, it's so cold it's way under -40!

Keep up the good work and be safe!

Well, October is starting to fill up. Can we fix the weekend at either 11/12 or 18/19? Either one is OK for me. My Social Secretary is pressuring me for a firm date.

OK, lets set it at the weekend of 10th, 11th, 12th.

My social secretary says we'll make sure its oodles of fun.

I'll come up with a list of stuff to do shortly, and we can figure out what folks would most rather do.

That's great. It is on my calendar.

A three day event? I gotta figure out if it would be cheaper to get a hotel/motel, or just pay for the gas.
You're gonna make me think?

I'm a little less than a 90 min drive from Sac.

Edit:
Okay, at the current gas prices, it's about $130 in gas for my F-150 for all three days. More if everyone want's me to drag my boat up there to cruise the Sacramento River (I wouldn't do this every day. Sorry)

It's about $65 for all three days in my Camry.

Not necessarily a 3 day event, more just giving people choices.

I figured we'd do most stuff on Saturday, but folks coming from a ways away may want to get here friday, and leave sunday. We can plan what to do based around who's here when, I just wanted to give choices and make it as easy as possible on people.

I figured as much.

Dude...when you get back we have to have lunch or whatever...maybe plan a nice safe visit to go shooting stuff that, well, typically doesn't shoot back!!

Stay safe, and seriously if there are things you might need drop a note and we'll see what can be done to help get ya some goodies and send a care package or twenty to share with everyone.

I am not sure if we can fit this one in...BUT...we can certainly try. It's sort of a bizzy time biddness wise and hard to get away. But that sure is a beautiful time up in the area! Plus there are LOTS of ducks and such to shoot, with all manner of devices...and that is just a short drive north of Sac...
