So you got one, correct?
Great!
We need another one for PFs/Rutt. PF, would you please get a pass for your car, too?
We'll merge/split/share those mutual expenses at the end..
Cheers!
I had planned to buy one on the way out, or at Bryce when I arrived there. I always tryto purchase an annual pass - If you are going to spend any time in Southern Utah, and annual pass will pay for itself easily.
I had thought rutt might neede one also, maybe not it seems.
Update on a car
I reserved a *full size* car from Hertz one-way from Las Vegas to St.George, starting Wed May 17 and dropping off Sun May 21.
The guy quoted me about $385 total (weekly rate). The minivan would be ~$510.
Just to make sure: who's riding with me? Doug, Michiel, Mike? Anybody else?
You're damn right I am:-)
I don't see a problem getting a bit off course while we're at the viscinity.. The only question is will we have enough transportation power?

Not sure what we've missed, but I've just ordered these books - some of them duplicates of others, but they look like keepers anyway.
BTW: any chances for you to meet us at St.George and give us a ride from there (and through the canyons, until the RV)? This way we can rent the car only for one day (to get from LV to St.George) instead of five?
The riders are (as far as I know): Kudbegud, Michiel, Mike Lane and yours truly, i.e. 4 passengers for your Acura. We'll cover the gas :-)
We hope to be at St.George about 10 am Wed May 17th.
If not for whatever reason - not a problem, I already reserved the full size sedan for a week..
here's the books i have:
--Moon Handbooks - Zion & Bryce
--Photographer's Guide To - The Grand canyon & Northern Arizona
--Volume 1, Photographing The Southwest
--PhotoTripUSA - Land of the Canyons, a photographers guide to Utah & Arizona

Hey Nik,
If you're referring to meeting you in St George that Wed morning I doubt I can since I'll already be in Bryce arriving on Tues. It looks like it's about a 2 1/2 hr trip to St. George (5 hrs round trip) and that'd just be a lot of driving - unless you get in a bind though. So do let me know!
During the shootout, I don't have anyone that I've committed seats to so if y'all want to "reserve" a spot let me know! I should be able to handle four with camera gear. It may get tight when we change locations to Zion with the additional luggage, but will probably still be doable.

Is Skippy covered?

I see. Of course, it does not make sense to ask you to drive all the way back. For some reason I thought you will be in St.George Wed morning, but since you're not going to, case is closed :
Unless I'm mistaken, Maxine is hitching her own ride from LV (Maxine, please inform us ASAP if it ain't so...).

Glenn Canyon?
I'm trying to confirm, but I just heard this weekend that the water level in the Glenn Canyon area is at a 30-year low. The Glenn Canyon office is already closed so I'll try again tomorrow, but does anyone have any news about this and is it worth seeing? If these are "once in a lifetime" photo-ops, we'll be in the neighborhood.

Small world... The "Outdoor Photography" just arrived and it has few things covered along our path, including this rare photo ops for Glenn Canyon :-)

Lake Powell is about 100 feet below pool I believe. It was about 80 or 90 feet below pool when I was there in spring 2004. But there was still a lot of water in Lake Powell. Lake Powell has been slowly not mainttaining its pool level for a number of years.
Arches on HDNET next Friday
Guess what: two of my favorite topics gonna be covered in HD next Friday: Bikiny Destinations is shooting around Lake Powell.
Here's a teaser shot from this week's episode:
I'm grieving we wont' have such models with us on the post-shootout trip, but at least we'll get the arches

I was also thinking about once we met up in Bryce since I am limited to four passengers.
Hey Andy, have you also started some sort of carpool roster and allocated people? I don't want to foul things up for you in that respect either.

Man, am I counting the days....
If it goes like that, next shootout will be a red carpet event, and we mere mortals won't get a slimest chance to attend...
