I don't much care where we go, what we shoot, I just want to get out of my routine and expose some film. Wish I didn't always have to schedule for reasonable chunks of time - oh well. Who's game?
I'll be game for that. What would you say to me bringing the camper out to, say, the Waters Creek area? Theres several good waterfalls and other cascades out there. Unless you can think of a better place to go shoot.
It'd be fun to get a bunch of us together for a camping overnighter in some good place, think you could do that?

Sounds great to me, though I'll have to consult with 'the boss'. Under normal circumstances it might be out of the question with the kids, her work, etc. However, as she'll be undergoing foot surgery the following Thursday with a 2 week recovery, perhaps I can work out a pre-emptive payback... I'll let ya know.

Just looked at the Calendar, and realized the 16th is Easter. I know we'll have plans for late lunch, and the Easter bunny always needs help hiding eggs, not to mention all the kid pictures I'll be taking during the search and rescue operation. I'd guess we'll have a lower turnout that day as well. 15th then, at least for me.

If the weather and work permits, leave Friday night, shoot Saturday morning till we get tired of looking at the area. Get back home early enough to get settled in for Easter. Think the kids would like camping?

Sounds great to me. Still need to check. I'd love to take at least one of the kids camping, 2 is definately out of the question going solo. Might take some persuation, with both the wife and the participating child... So long as their only demand is a film based camera I might be OK.

The overnight is a no-go for me heading into Easter. However, if you 2 decide to go overnight, I'll simply wake up very early and meet you Sat. AM. Waters Creek sounds great, I've not been there, so it'll all be new to me. I don't think it's over a 90 minute ride, so I could be there by 7-7:30 easily.

Thats too bad Scott, it's a nice place. We'll figure something out. You know how to get there from here?

My wife is not capable of handling that so I'm going to need another hiking companion to make it to that one. You really do need to have company for this hike because this is bear and wild hog country and an extra set of eyes is a very good idea.
Mill Creek Falls is more a steep sloping run over most of it and not easy to get a good shot of. We were fortunate to arrive when the light was really good and I got off a half dozen shots before the direct light faded. I will probably go to the dungeon and torture the film tomorrow so I may have something to show for it in a few days.
Care to share some of those GPS coordinates? I'm not sure I'd be able to make it down next weekend, but I'd definitely like to get in some waterfall shots when I do make it down there. I'm in Nashville, so there's some driving involved. Weekends are my only time away and even then, not every weekend. From what I saw of the area in my recent move from south FL to TN, northern GA is nice. I'd like to do some exploring. Knowing where to look helps!
Thanks in advance.

If you know your way onto hwy 411 around Chatsworth, this is north of the city past Eton on Grassy Street, west side of the road, go across the tracks to find Mill Creek Rd on the right. My coords are 34degrees 53.650N 84degrees 40.251W
