Re: 4th Annual SmugMug / Dgrin Shootout -- Arches National Park October 2008
Lori, Just a fair warning: shootout schedule can be very exhausting (last year in Moab we usually woke up at 3-4am and went to bed around 11pm, that and a long hikes:-), and, for a non-photog, extremely boring and annoying (stopping for "seemingly nothing" 10 times for 10 minutes each over 0.1 mile hike:-). Proceed at your… -

Re: 4th Annual SmugMug / Dgrin Shootout -- Arches National Park October 2008
Are we there yet? I mean, it is 2008! OK, seriously though, how do most folks plan on getting there? I, for instance, will probably fly to SLC and drive the 4.5 hours. I can fly to SLC in 4 hours. While Grand Junction is only 2 hours away from Moab, it takes a 6.5 hour flight with a layover. Plus it costs $230 more. And… -

You get what you pay for. 10 people. 2 pros. A local guide(s). All transportation, food, lodging paid for. Often you get extras that take the trip to the next level, like the mule team packing your stuff into the High Sierras and the packers making meals for you up in the remote High Sierras, allowing you more time to… -
Re: 4th Annual SmugMug / Dgrin Shootout -- Arches National Park October 2008
Who is renting cars? My wife is "encouraging" me to hurry up and make my reservations before airfare gets any more expensive, so I can't procrastinate much longer. Have any travel details been posted that I missed? I'm trying to decide whether to fly into Salt Lake City (SLC) or Grand Junction (GJT). Either choice will… -
Re: 4th Annual SmugMug / Dgrin Shootout -- Arches National Park October 2008
Mmm kay...you're a good trip planner...I have 10 week days + week ends...and if needed 2 extra days I can "spend". I need to spend three days in Vegas, but the rest is FREE!!! Do we have our preshoot planned? (I know...preshoot thread...) I probably won't be able to travel to or from MD with anyone since I'm arriving… -
Re: 4th Annual SmugMug / Dgrin Shootout -- Arches National Park October 2008
...more now. While it is hard to plan since you don't know exactly how the days will work out, think ahead. Are you willing (& able) to hike/climb? That means you want to travel as light as possible, but not limit your options. In the thread Schmoo mentions here I posted about the issue of using photobackpacks in Zion.… -
Re: 4th Annual SmugMug / Dgrin Shootout -- Arches National Park October 2008
Here are my initial observations based on some flight searches and other comments. Grand Junction is about 2 hours from Moab, Salt Lake City is about 4. Flying into Salt Lake City from the Baltimore/Washington airports (I'm out in Hagerstown so all 3 are about equal for me) gives me many more options as far as arrival and… -
Re: 4th Annual SmugMug / Dgrin Shootout -- Arches National Park October 2008
I got some great questions via email about the shootout and since the clock is ticking I figured I would bump this thread by making a few suggestions about things to bring or think about before you go. First of all, I remembered this thread that started soon after last year's shootout, and it raised some great questions…
