    Give me one or two more days for an answer Gary. I just came back through there last Wednesday on a motorcycle trip with friends so I didn't get a chance to shoot pitchas. but the goods are there for great shots. No doubt about it. The maple leaves are already beginning to shade to red. The bridge will make for dynamite night shots. etc etc. I just gotta see tomorrow if I can escape from work - I will be travelling from Sept 14 - Sept 28 - riding the Rockies and looking at the Aspens fade to glory.

    I'll have an answer no later than Wednesday.

    What glu said. This past weekend I didn't get to travel for fun. Instead I had a wedding saturday, went home, slept for a couple hours, got the gear ready again, got in a car drove to PA, Turned around, found the wedding location in ohio 5 minutes from the PA border, 30 Minutes from Pittsburg, 4.5 hours from where I live. Shot a small but excellent wedding, drove home, slept for 2 hours, woke up, went to the ren fest with friends (I so should have skipped this part). I didn't touch my camera yesterday, won't touch it today, but will start processing. So exhausted.

    The deck has been cleared for takeoff after noon Thursday Oct 6 - SO I should make Mackinaw City by noon Friday and be able to shoot through Sunday evening. I do not really want to drive after dark on the freeway in upper Michigan. Too likely to meet Bambi up close and personal...

    Count me in.

    WooHooooo!!!!

    Glad you're joining us. I was in Indiana this weekend with family, in Buffalo right near Lake Shafer. I got some good shots of my cousins that I'll post later.

    Gary I sure hope you didn't spend all the money you made at the wedding on gas gettting to and from it. I'm twitching right now to go out and shoot but I know I need to start processing and uploading what I have already. Oh decisions decisions.
