Hocking Hills Photo Shoot Schedule

Hi Everyone, here's a suggested schedule for the Hocking Hills Shoot..... since everyone is coming on different days and times I suggest we make the State Park Dining Lodge our meeting location, it has a large parking lot, a place to eat and restrooms.  We want to make sure everyone gets to enjoy all areas of the park no matter what day or time they get there. Places we're going to see are Ash Cave, Cedar Falls, Old Man's Cave, Conkle's Hollow, Rock House and maybe Cantwell Cliffs. Here's a link to all the trail maps, print them out if you like, also at the link will be a list of the parks on the left side of the screen, if you click on a park name it will show you photos and a description of the park.  Here's the link...  Hocking Hills Trail Maps

Here's a Tentative Daily Schedule, it's not set in stone and if you've been to Hocking Hills before and want to head out and explore on your own and just meet up for lunch or dinner or just to BS about photography that's fine.  For those that want to hang out in a group here's what's planned and could change depending on how the water's flowing.  Since people will be getting there at various times, we will meet back at the dining lodge a few times a day to meet up with people, depending on when you arrive you may want to give me a call to see where we are shooting when you get there.

Also for anyone staying at a Hotel in Logan that doesn't want to make trips back and forth to the Hotel during the day, you are more than welcome to stash your laptops and battery chargers in my Cottage, in case you want to charge batteries and download photos to your laptop during the afternoon lunch break.  What I usually do when I go to Hocking Hills is get up early go out and shoot, then during the afternoon yucky light period, eat lunch, download photos, then head back out for a late afternoon shoot.

Thursday:
   A few of us are getting there Thursday, call me when you get  there and we can go out and shoot if it's not to late.  (Either email me at ronskinner4435@sbcglobal.net or send me a message on Facebook and I'll give you my cell number)  I'll be staying in Cottage 24 in the State Park

The above schedule it just a suggestion to give some structure to the shoot and to make sure we meet up with everyone and that everyone gets to shoot all areas of the park. If you like a location and want to stay longer, feel free to do so, and if you want to head out on your own to explore a favorite place that's cool too.

Here's a map showing where the Dining Lodge, Cottages, Old Man's Cave Parking and the State Park HQ are located:
