====================================================

Time for our 5th semi-annual Skyline Drive Meet!

Date: Sunday, May 24th (memorial weekend)

What is it?
The Skyline meet is an outdoor social networking event for photographers and models. This is a family-friendly event at the Shenandoah National Park. The group will meet and travel in caravan. We will go from stop to stop to take pictures, enjoy the view, and have a picnic.

I'm throwing a little spin this time with the meet up details. For the convenience of our friends in southern Virginia, we will have 3 meet up points.

Time Table:

10:30am - North Entrance group will meet at our usual location (K-mart parking lot - 465 SOUTH ST, Front Royal, VA, 22630).

11:00am - North Entrance group will form a caravan into the park.

12:00 noon - Hazel Mountain (mile post 33). This is the cliff with big rocks where we normally stop in the late afternoon. People from southern VA will met here and wait for the north group to arrive. If you're from lynchburg, harrisonburg, this is the meeting point closest to you.

2:00pm - Picnic Ground: Our next meeting point will be the Pinnacles Picnic Area @ mile post 37. This will be our 2nd long stop.

4:00pm - we will head towards the Dark Hollow Falls. People who doesn't want to hike can play in the Big Meadow area nearby.

We should have workable day light until 7:30. We can stop at a few more places, or we can break off. I plan on stopping at a few overlooks going back out north.



Other details
- Walkie Talkie will stay at channel 7
- Group shot will be done at Hazel Mountain Overlook

I decided not to do an attendants list because half of them aren't even on MM.

I will, however, do a who's who page afterward like last fall.

If I am in town I'll be there but I'm trying to travel over the summer as much as possible. That's the upside to being single tongue

The last meet, we went there on the peak foliage weekend. It took us half hour just to get through the front gate, but once we're in the mid-park range, things got better. It's still manageable.

You'd want to meet with the north entrance group at the K-mart Parking lot:

465 SOUTH ST, Front Royal, VA, 22630

Should I add you to the attendant list?

How many people are interested in the Dark Hollow Waterfall hike? Or should we find something different?

Got to eventually make one of these so go ahead and put me down for the North Entrance.

The Dark Hollow falls is fine by me, it will be a good test to see how far along my foot has come.

I've wanted to do this the last couple of times and I couldn't work the date. I'm going to check with management (my wife) and see if I can get there. I'll be coming from the south.

Have Fun,
Wm.
