Sandy Neck once more?

[Drew B.]

How about a late summer/ early fall walk at sandy neck....lots of nature to shoot?!

 

[Ernie H.]

Sounds good.
Breakfast ??

[Steve Goldstein]

Count me in as long as I'm not on travel.

 

[Drew B.]

I'm thinking after Labor Day...start the walk along the base of the dunes on the left and great marsh on the right and into the dunes we can go...bring lots if film.

[Steve Goldstein]

At least a couple of weeks after Labor Day would be good for me.

 

[patobrocks]

It might be good.

I've gone down there before with the family, and only took some pictures along the beach side. If you come up with a date I will pencil it in.

 

[bellemarematt]

I'm interested.

 

[Drew B.]

ok, last question... is Saturday or is Sunday best?

 

[Steve Goldstein]

No preference in general. On any given weekend one may be better than the other.

 

[patobrocks]

My schedule is changing sometime around then, but either weekend day should work fine for me.

 

[bill h]

Either day, maybe tilting toward Sunday. And breakfast.

 

[patobrocks]

I just picked up an October 14 & 15 commitment. Before or after looks promising for either day.

 

[Drew B.]

Let's go with the weekend of Sept 16-17...as we get a bit closer we'll pick one. Early morning or late is better for dark sky... if we do breakfast let's meet at 0800 and on the neck at 9 ish

 

[Drew B.]

Here's a thought...the CC art association is providing a boat to Cuttyhunk Island next saturday (9th) for 45 bucks. Read this site for info... We could do this next week or I'll look into others forthe 17th for us...but we might need greater numbers to hire a boat. Cuttyhunk is part of the Elizibeth Island chain...and is quite a wild and remote. Your thoughts?

Sounds great, but I'll be in Maine this weekend

 

[Steve Goldstein]

I'll be in Maine (Star Island) 7th-10th. Too bad, I've never been to Cuttyhunk.

 

[Drew B.]

Ok forget that idea...for now. I'm a bit concerned about sandy neck as I've heard the type of ticks found there can do a number on humans an so we're exploring other types of activities such as LF still life photography or maybe some other subject matter...but let's go with the 17th and starting at Cafe Chew at 0830 hrs

 

[patobrocks]

I think I'll pass on Sandy Beach. Cape Cod Times article says Cuttyhunk is also infested.

One symptom of this tick' bite is people develop an allergic reaction to red meat. Sinc Ive been on an all beef diet, risking Sandy Beach for me is crazy.

I've always wanted to try Corporate Beach in Dennis at low tide morning or evening

 

[patobrocks]

I've gotta take a pass on Cafe Chew also, for it has nothing on their extensive menu that i can eat.

 

[Eric Rose]

Insect repellant and proper clothing will protect you against ticks. We get lots of them here in the mountains during spring. I've been hiking there for over 50 years and never got a bit.

 

[removed account4]

couldn't agree more eric !
deep woods off does the trick

 

[Drew B.]

An all beef diet?? Are u looking for heart disease? Yes Chew is healthy food...that's why I go there

 

[Drew B.]

Well I'm not sure what to do after but let's meet at he Chew at 0830 hrs this Sunday. We can put our heads together and come up with something ! ... maybe the railroad bridge?

 

[bill h]

Bacon solves every problem

 

[papagene]

mmmmmmmmm... baaaaaaaacon!!!
