This has given club members an opportunity to shoot something different and interesting, as well as expose the existence of our club to potential new members. So, come out part or all of the day and try some creative shots of the event. Don’t forget to WEAR YOUR LVPC BADGE. Following the event, those who wish to contribute some of their shots to Friends of Camp Geiger, the event sponsor, may do so by submitting them to the club on a disk. In the past, we have transformed collected shots into a slideshow for their use.

If you’ve been there in past years, you know there is always something interesting to shoot. If you haven’t experienced such an event, come out and enjoy the day. Check out the forums for photos and comments from past Civil War Days. To learn more about this Civil War encampment visit www.campgeiger.org

For those interested, we’ll do lunch or just a liquid refreshment at Allentown Brew Works before heading back to the starting point. A map with the route and 24 landmarks will be provided at the starting point for the geographically-challenged.

If joining the group walk, we’ll meet at 10am at Trout Hall, located on the Southwest corner of 4th and Walnut Streets.  There should be sufficient street parking on a Sunday morning.

The itinerary has been posted on the forums.

Two time options here–

–Some want to start VERY EARLY in the morning and catch some sunrise shots. It was suggested that the early birds then meet for breakfast in the DWG area and meet up with the…
–later group around 9:30 or 10 am and then take one of the hourly DWG Trolley Rides, which run every hour, rain or shine. I have a coupon for 10% off the trolley ride, making the cost $7.65 each.

We will need to make a reservation since that will be the premier foliage weekend!! Please sign up here on the forum page if you are interested in going. Let us know if you want to be an early bird or if you want to sleep in a bit and whether you are interested in going on the trolley ride.

FORUM SIGN UP PAGE

Breakfast time and location to be announced here a bit closer to the date. If you have a favorite spot up in the DWG area, please suggest it here!!

Also—if you’d like to hike to a particular spot, make it known here on the forums and chances are someone will probably want to join you.

In the visitor’s section you will find the schedules and excellent directions to the venues. Since there are so many events going on it might be easier to form small groups on the forums rather than having one particular event to meet at. Let’s discuss it.

Also, don’t forget to e-mail up to two of your favorite photos from the day to our Tj, our public relations coordinator, for use in the newsletter.  The deadline to submit a photo for the July newsletter is June 25th, so don’t wait!  For information on sizing of your submissions, take a look at the “Newsletter” section of the new LVPC FAQ.

We will have a tent and banner set up near the red caboose from the start of the day Saturday until well into the afternoon to provide some shade, a meeting place, and a bit of publicity for the club.  In the end, we will provide photos to the Camp Geiger group for their use. Last year we produced a DVD presentation with music, and they were thrilled to receive and show it.

The Saturday schedule is as follows:
