I'm going.

[hoohaa]

I signed up for the one in Ithaca. I wanted to do one of these two years ago. Then last year. And both times it was on a Saturday and I had to work. This year, he made it so it could be Saturday or Sunday and the one in Ithaca is on a Sunday, so I'm hoping things won't get messed up and I'll be able to do it. Looking forward to it!

[Kelly]

Anyone else going to do this? The Rochester walk still has plenty of room. Unless it rains, I'll be going. Sounds like fun. Kyle and Jess? Bill? David?

Matt - here's a link to the one in Chengdu. http://worldwidephotowalk.com/walk/chengdu-sichuan-china/

"After the walk, meet at: The Lazy Pug"

I would go just to visit the Lazy Pug.

Saturday, October 1st (02:30pm - 05:30pm)
Location: At the statue of Mao Ze Dong

haha... know exactly where that is....

[Kelly]

Then go and have fun!

[Matt]

I signed up, but it's a big holiday, so I probably will go to a party if i have the chance.

[Matt]

I decided against it when i realized how poor of a choice the leader in Chengdu made.
I got the paper this morning and the headline translated to roughly "holy shit china has too many people"
the stats for the Oct 1st holiday travel: 10 million by air, 4.7 million by train, 23 million by car. Chance of getting a taxi: near impossible.
This being a holiday akin to the 4th of July, and the meeting place being a public square and subway transportation hub, my guess was that there could be a hundred thousand in the square alone.

[Kelly]

Bummer.
Ours is tomorrow. 25 people are signed up - don't recognize a one.
Cold, I can take - but not rain. We'll see.

[Kelly]

With just under 2 hours til the walk, I took my name off the list. On what should be a gorgeous fall day, it's 42 - raining - blowing and "feels like" 36. I can't make myself go out the door.

[hobkyl]

Nope, I forgot all about it. I am nursing my sore legs. We did a 24 hour trip to the ADKS, 10 hours in the car, 12 hours hiking 4 high peaks, and two hours eating.

Too bad the weather was so bad.

Too bad the weather was so bad.

I hold no grudges against Mother Nature - she always makes up for it with days like today. Glorious! And it's not like I can't walk around High Falls by myself, right?
