Eastern Sierra Trip/ Goodbye California!

[Jim Fitzgerald]

Well, I figured that June and I would make one last trip to the Eastern Sierra before we move to Vancouver Washington at the end of the year. We will be camping at the Aspen Grove Campground off of Highway 120 by Power Plant Road. We are heading up on October 8th and staying until the 12th of October.

This is a celebration of many years of trips to the area with all of our friends and in part a tribute to our friend Per Volquartz. We have many great memories from these trips so join us if you can.

This is a BYOB event or camping trip. Everyone is free to join photographers that they may feel a connection with and wish to learn from and everyone is encouraged to bring prints to share. We will show them at the campground or wherever.

Nothing is organized so don't ask just show up if you want and do your own thing.

It would be great to see all of our friends and help us celebrate my retirement, move to Washington and my birthday!

Thanks everyone

Happy Birthday Jim! Do you have a maps link or coordinates for the site?

Oh how I wish I could join you. I had anticipated doing so since we spoke at APIS. My back surgery scheduled for Tuesday will prevent my participation. Have a great trip, and I hope to see you in November at the gathering.

Will, 395 north, turn west on Highway 120 go up a few miles and left on Power plant road. Campground will be a few miles up the road. Aspen is the first one you come to and if it is full keep going back the canyon to the next campground.

Jim, sorry to hear you can't make it. Good luck with the surgery and look forward to seeing you in November.

Ah, my old stomping grounds. Have a great time Jim.

Great. Might be able to make it for 8-9th. Leave on the morning of the 10th.

Oh, I know where that is... Been a long time.:-)

Hopefully the local gang will be there..Myself will be going, Randy? (Ghostcount) Daniel Perez, Matt Stage, Tim Scott et al..?

Always a good time there and lots to explore. Probably the last anyone will see the Fitz-man for a loooooong time!

I'll be returning from Hawaii on the 7th, so I do not think I'll have time to head out to the Eastern Sierras -- that will have to wait until late winter!

Have fun!!

Vaughn, then June and I will have to make a Redwood trip if we can swing it.
