John, I'll put you on the list. I really hope that you'll be able to make it. So is Sonoma too far away for everyone or should we put that on the list of potential places? Bruce Monday, February 7, 2005, 10:48:08 PM, you wrote: JC I'm all for this outing. As far as missions go, I know the

Hmm, well, ok. Scratch two off of my very short list. It looks like Marin County has been visited. 1. Alcatraz Island (for the prison and Bay views, weather depending) plus SF water front? 2. Newly remodeled SF Conservatory of Flowers in Golden Gate Park. In spring time, they have a glorius

This is a notice for anyone in reasonable driving distance to the Bay area - We are going to have a PDML photo outing on March 5th. The plan is to meet and shoot at one of the missions in the area. I've got to get that finalized, but the date is solid. Hopefully any of you near San Francisco

Hi Bruce ... I might be able to make it this year. Which missions are you talking about, and where might they be? This is the first I heard about this. Just curious as to who decided on the missions and the date, and when that happened. Perhaps I missed a bunch of messages. Shel

Hello Shel, Love to have you come. You didn't miss any messages. Since Mark Dalal moved, I have somehow become the organizer of the event. So the date was picked based on my ability to go. I don't have any other openings until about June. As to shooting missions, Marnie and I have been

Good to hear, John. So far, looks like we have possibilities of four of us. Hopefully more people will figure out that they are near enough to the bay area to want to come. I have the DA 16-45 and will naturally bring it along. Once we get a little more solidified on who's attending, we can

From previous trips to California missions, there is usually an indoor and outdoor component. You can experience some of the interior ornateness within the chapel buildings or explore the gardens (in various stages of bloom) out back. So, it could be both an indoor and outdoor experience. Pat in
