Texas - central or west

[Joe Forks]

Anyone up for some LF in Texas? Maybe the Missions in San Antonio or travel to west Texas and shoot the Big Bend? I live in San Antonio and own a fixer upper in Marathon (no hot water yet, working on the plumbing).

I'm shooting 6x7 and 4x5. Anyone interested?

Happy New Year folks.

There is a pretty good group from Texas on APUG, but I'm not sure if they come over here to LF or not.

Hey, we have a Big Bend up here in Canada, too. I'll bet our Bend is bigger than Texas's Bend...everything isn't bigger in Texas.

Marathon, that's where James Evans is located, correct? I'm up in Denton, TX, and would love to do a weekend shoot in BigBend.

Jeremy,
How's the car situation? I trust you're mobile again. Yes James is in Marathon. I have not been out shooting with him yet, as it seems we're both pretty busy, or when I'm free he's busy, something like that. Jim Bones is in Alpine now, and Todd Jagger in Ft Davis, those guys I'd love to go shoot with as well.

Lets try and get out there, I'm pretty flexible, the only date I know that is out is weekend adjacent to January 14th, my daughter's 13th B-day.

I know the area pretty well, thirty years of rock hopping the trans-pecos, plus a small ranchito in the sierra aguja (adjacent to the west end of the park).

Big Bend is my favorite national park and one of my favorite photographic destinations- I love the Chisos mountains- I only wish it was closer to California!

[Joe Forks]

I hear you Bruce! It takes me 6 hours to get out there from SA!

[Jeremy Moore]

Yep, I've even got gps in the car now so I won't get (too) lost

I'm free pretty much any weekend you'd like to go. The next semester starts January17-ish so maybe not the weekend directly following that, but anytime else works.

I'm going to shoot you a PM since that pretty much narrows it down. I have to be in Marathon by this Thursday. Check your PM for my contact info, travel plans and schedule.
