Thanks for the welcome! December 16 sounds like a great idea. I'm in!
You are right about DC. I live in nearby College Park, home of the Mighty Terps. You can tell, because of all the mean looking fiberglass turtles. Grandfather Mountain sounds interesting. I'd like to hear more about it. Looking forward to meeting you.

I'll even have my new K10D by then... guaranteed. Stan On Nov 22, 2006, at 9:22 AM, Scott Loveless wrote: Welcome, Mike. Good to have you. Stan has pretty much covered the bases. I wanted to add that there are quite a few of us in the mid-Atlantic region. We have PDMLers in Philly, New Jersey, several in the DC/Baltimore area, quite a few in NYC, at least one in western Maryland, Pittsburgh, I'm in Harrisburg, PA, there are several in NC, and probably quite a few others I've forgotten. I just wish I could make it to more of the gatherings. We have our disagreements online, but I've never met anyone in person with whom I wouldn't like to spend more time. If you have the time you should really consider the photography weekends at Grandfather Mountain, NC. I made it to the Camera Clinic in 2005 and the Nature Photography Weekend last June. Both were loads of fun. Just don't camp too close to Dave. BTW, I'm actually, really, honest-to-God available on December 16th. If anyone else is up for it (Stan?) I'll definitely make the trek to DC. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
