I would be driving from Rockville, MD

I'm happy to drive. I can take three.

I'm glad a spot opened up. This is WAY cool!

I am very pleased that a spot is now available. I would be happy to assist with the driving. I can take three in my car.

We will be leaving from the Herndon Park & Ride at 10am located at 12530 Sunrise Valley Drive, Herndon VA. I will be there at 9:30. The route with the least amount in tolls. http://maps.google.com/maps?oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:... My cell is 571-283-5100

I'm in Gaithersburg. I can drive and take 3. Robert, do you have a rendezvous point in Litiz in mind?

Ok Perla and Rich are in MD. Is there anyone else in MD going so those in MD can coordinate riding together? We will be swinging around the 95/270 split so maybe there can be a spot the VA & MD people can meet together and then head towards Lilitz. Open to suggestions.

Will we be walking/hiking or standing in one spot? Need to know how to dress since it will be pretty chilly.

TC, Layer up so you will be comfortable in the car and in either situation during the shoot. None of us has been there before.

Thanks John. I forgot to mention that I wont be coming from the area, so I will meet you guys in Lilitz. If you decide on a place for lunch, let me know. Otherwise I'll call Robert around 1.

I did some research on eating places near the preserve and along the way. I have a list 18 places within 30 miles, but this one is closest (4.07 mi ):
The Sandwich Factory
(American, Deli, Coffee)
Rated 4.5 out of 5 Under $10
2520 Lititz Pike
Lancaster, PA (717) 581-8180

What glass are you planning on taking?

I think you can get by with a 200mm. I plan to shoot with a 70-200 F2.8.

John - I'll plan to meet you guys at the Sandwich Factory. thx

Hi John
I will be driving from Bethesda and would like to meet at the Sandwhich Factory. I saw your email below and wanted to confirm that this will be the meeting place. Thank you!
Julie

Hello John, I am not able to RSVP b/c the link is closed, but would like to come along with my wife, Julie.

Sounds like a great place and I hope to get up there soon but Saturday is not good. On their site they mention a two hour option for $50. Seems like you could get plenty of good shots in 2 hours.

Chris, I have you and Julie on my list to come since the RSVP is closed.

For those wondering, we will be shooting from behind a chain-link fence. As for wolf activity and photo opportunities here is what I got.

You see them they come out and check you out then go off and do what they feel like doing. You can see them in their areas. Some have lots of trees some not so many.

I think everyone will get good shots. I would recommend a zoom lens like a 80-200, and a tripod.

I'm happy I can get in on this. I live in the Ashburn area, can I ride with anyone? John or Robert can you tell me how much walking there may be and the terrain. I just had surgery on my knee and can get around really well. If I could ride with anyone please give me a call 540-664-5339.
Thanks

Just show up at the park and ride and we will work out the driving arrangements

Sorry the last post was general for everyone. We will all meet at the park and ride and work out the driving from there

Cindy,

Not sure how much walking and terrain there is. This is a first time trip for a lot of us. I'm sure you can go at your own pace as we have a three hour window.

Looking forward to this shoot and plan to meet the group at the sanctuary.

This is the Photo Event/Expo I was talking about.

Thanks to everyone and especially our coordinators. This was an awesome event. This was my first Unexpected Treasures expedition and it will not be my last. I look forward to more adventures!
