I'm not sure if anyone's still checking this, but I'm in for the 6th.

Looking forward to seeing the faces behind the names!

William,

I am planning to make the trip down from Sacramento. See you then!

Will --

I plan to join the Mare Island excursion on Nov 6 (coming down from a few miles further up the foothills than Steve Nieslony).

Thanks for doing the work to make this trip happen.

I sent emails to those who have expressed interest in Saturday's gathering at Mare Island. In case you're interested, but did not receive an email, we will be meeting at 9:30AM at the Vallejo ferry terminal (http://www.baylinkferry.com/terminal.htm) at 495 Mare Island Way in Vallejo. From there we will caravan across the bridge to Mare Island.



The promenade at the ferry terminal offers a fine view across the water of Mare Island in the morning light. I'll be there well in advance of 9:30, so if you want to come early, too, that's fine.



Our time at Mare Island is officially from 10AM 'til 3PM. The light may just be getting interesting by 3:00, so we'll play it by ear after that.

OK, I'll try that link again. Seems the software wanted to incorporate the parentheses.

Hey, this is a great opportunity! If you can make it, I know you'll find Mare Island a photographic treasure(could a decaying 150 year old ship yard be anything else?) I can't wait to hear the stories of you fortunate enough to attend. What makes this outing really special is that Will and the Historical foundation are gearing this for LF photographers. During a "normal" tour you'll be fighting the clock and if you go when they open the place up for special events you'll be fighting crowds. Don't miss this chance to explore the visual feast Mare Island has to offer!

Bill and the gang,

After trying every way we could to get someone to take care of our kids for the weekend, we struck out. We can't make this trip, but hopefully will be able to get up there before it changes too much. Sorry we are not going to meet the gang. It would be nice to meet so many of the people I have been communicating with over the Internet.

Have a great time.

[David Karp]

Sorry, make that "William and the gang"
