    I live in the Gwinnett/Barrow county area. I would be interested in a gtg. I have a couple of spots, pretty good for birds, and other wildlife but it won't hold big crowds. Calloway Gardens will be perfect pretty soon, and Savannah streets may already be on the decline.

    info
    sanford just curious if you even shoot at fort yargo park? oakhill and berry would be a great gtg and they are real close and would make it very easy to work out the kinks of getting around. rex lets try and plan this and maybe we could even get the key to the house of dreams and shoot there too.

    Hey Rex,

    Jeff here. It's been a while since I've been up to Berry. I might be interested in a gtg up there as well. I haven't made it up to the House of Dreams yet, so that would be interesting.

    Another spot that's not too far away would also be Barnsley Gardens. Certainly some interesting architecture and nice gardens as well.

    I'll keep an eye for the date to see if it work with my schedule. I have a buddy that might come if it's on a Sunday.

    I will quote my own post. Any of those days are fine with me. We can't do a Sunday if Oak Hill is a must as they are closed then. Which is why I onl;y listed Saturdays.

    Dunwoody heah...How y'all doin'?
    I'd love to meet some ATL shooters. Think you could handle having an enthusiastic old broad join in? If y'all can nail down a place & time on Saturdays, let me know. Apr26 is reserved for my Vegas wedding, though.

    My 6 week old D300 & Sigma 10-20 haven't even been used yet. :cry

    I was thinking May 10th for this but before I call and get the key what does everyone think about that fact that it is Mother's Day weekend?

    Is everyone that wants to go fine with it being the day before Mother's Day?

    I don't know if I'll be able to make it May 10th. Maybe we get a waterfall trip together this spring or early summer?

    I don't want to sound dumb, but what is the house of dreams? I have never been to Berry, (applied for a deer hunt there, but wasn't drawn for it :cry angry.gif )

    I've always thought about going up there.

    Ok I called the lady that handles the House of Dreams and she will not be back in the office until Monday. I will call her then.

    I was thinking we could all meet at the McDonald's in front of Mount Berry Square Mall at around 8am. Have a meet and greet.

    Then head to Oak Hill and watch the short film on the history of the college becasue I watched it after I went around Berry and found I had a better understanding as to what went on after I saw the movie.

    Anyways the movie is about 15minutes.

    We will tour the house where photos are not allowed, then tour the gardens and grounds at Oak Hill.

    Then head to Possum Trot, Old Mill, then we can all park at Frost Chapel if there is no wedding and take photos there and walk to the Pond and stuff.

    Then from there maybe lunch somewhere in Rome.

    Then back to the Ford Buildings, and any other small sites to see on that side.

    Then we can go to the campus side for some good architecture shots.


    How does that sound?

    Ok everything is set for the get together at Berry College on May 10th.

    They now only allow faculty, Alumni, or current students to drive to the House of Dreams.

    So if we want to go we will have to walk. I am told it is about a 2 1/2 mile walk.

    We are set to start the tour of Oak Hill at 10am when they open. The fee is $4 per person. the tour through the museum, house and gardens is about 2 hours.

    As you would expect NO PHOTOGRAPHY in the mueseum or house but anywehre else is ok. Once done there we have free run of the grounds for photography.

    Then I figure maybe grab lunch at some place maybe WOW (World of Wings)

    Then off to see the rest of the campus.

    I don't NEED it but it would be nice to get a head count so i can give her the info when she calls closer to time to reconfirm with me.

    Hi Rex,
    I had already replied to GAGodfather on another site about this, but I'll go ahead and respond here as well.

    I'm in for the trip to Berry. Though I may pass on WoW.

    Looking forward to it.
