Caddo Lake trip on 11/3/2007

Our Caddo Lake trip has been set on Saturday, 11/3. Since this is a long drive (3 and a half hours, about 200 miles), we suggest staying overnight and coming back on Sunday, 11/4.

By doing so, we can take evening sunset pictures as well as morning sun raising scenes. We may launch our boats in Uncertain, at the west bank of the lake. Please bring your tripod, super wide-angle, and telelenses, etc.

Caddo Lake is a different type of lake than most of the Texas Lakes to the west. Caddo Lake is on the Texas/Louisiana border. http://www.caddo-lake.net/

Caddo Lake is a place of great scenic beauty and biological diversity. http://www.uncertain-tx.com/

For details of this trip, we will discuss and finalize in our October monthly meeting on 10/17/2007.

October Activities

An article sent by one of our members says (in Big 5 Chinese):

被狗吠的人，不一定是賊；
留長鬍子，也不一定是藝術家。

For those whose computers can't read Chinese, it simply means that:

Those bow-wowed by dogs are not necessarily thieves; nor those wearing long beard artists.

I want to add one more here:

No messages communicating not necessarily implies no activities on going at NTAPA.

We just had a busy September, now October is another one again:

1. Charles Lai and Ming Zeng were touring Alaska separately, Zeng even went further north into the North Pole. We are expecting some exciting pictures on 10/17, our October monthly meeting. (call them for details)
