    No doubt he wants to work on the canyon conundrum and LAB processing a la Margulis. Looking forward to shooting with him (and everyone else).

    On another note, my wife's signed up, and she's not a shooter (she shoots a little, but she's no junkie). Not sure if she's really going to make it, but people were asking about non-shooters.

    Just stumbled upon this. Sounds like fun and if rooms still available I'd like to join in. Just curious about some of the logistics of the trip. Assuming I fly into Las Vegas what is the plan for transportation to Bryce and Zion? Do we make our own arrangements or is there going to be some type of group transportation arranged. I looked through the postings and didn't notice any mention of this - sorry if I missed it...

    there'll be carpools, i'm sure. contribute $$ for gas or car rental, and pile in. that'll be arranged prior to the trip, closer in.

    see the official thread for how to sign up :D

    Ok thanks.
    Probably to early to ask, but wondering if there is any favorite place most will stay in Las Vegas. I assume we will be traveling early Wed morning to Bryce? and back from Zion sometime Sunday? I'm just trying to figure out whats best for flights in/out of Vegasheadscratch.gif

    Andy,

    Sorry to be so dense, but how does one go about using Paypal to sign up for the trip? I'm not sure where to start. Saw your e-mail address to send it to, but am lost as to how to begin.sad.gif

    Thanks!

    if you're already signed up with www.paypal.com then you simply "send money" to me at my paypal email address awilliamsny at mac dot com.

    if you're not signed up, you need to do that, first.... alternatively, if you wish to send me a check, that's fine, too. you can pm me for a snail mail addy.

    Trying to figure out flight info and I'm wondering when others are planning on getting there? Are most people flying in on the 16th or early AM on the 17th?

    What are the "official" plans on when and where everyone is to meet up on the 17th? I figure I should just take care of everything now so I don't forget later.

    At least one of us is doing something totally idiotic - like driving all the way out there. rolleyes1.gif Mrs. D_S85 tells me this plan is more than wacko, so she will be flying as I am shooting :photo my way across the country. If she has her way, I will be kidnapped and forced to fly also.

    Our plan, as yet not set, is to arrive a day early in Bryce and poke around until the critical mass arrives. We'll also try to stick around an extra day at Zion.

    David if I could I would do the same thing but that is a really long drive that I cannot take the time off to do. I do know of another that is doing the same thing though so your not the only one with crazy ideas.
