The museum closes at 4:00 PM.  I suggest that we limit the field trip to the outside grounds.

   You may explore the grounds and view the outdoor exhibits free of charge.  It may be possible to stay on the grounds past the official closing time.

Travel home when you have finished your photography.  

Ride sharing:  Members who wish to share a ride, and travel together in the same vehicle, should post a notice and contact each other via the CCoH Exchange Group.

Hendersonville meet up:

Update: March 10, 2019 Hendersonville Meet Up: Unfortunately Mike Merrill has had a change of plans and will not be available to meet with local members (on Wednesday morning) who wish to meet for ride sharing or travelling together. He is still participating in the field trip; he will meet us at the gate. We encourage everyone to make their own ride sharing plans by contacting other like-minded members. It would be good if someone would volunteer to coordinate a meet up if one is needed. I have also included the phone number of the restaurant in Irmo, SC, Lizard’s Thicket. 
 

As of today, the weather forecast for Wednesday, March 13, 2019 is cloudy with a high of 66.  As always, you may join or leave the group at anytime--participate as much or little as you wish.

If you plan to participate in this field trip please respond to this email on the CCoH Exchange and let me know so I can have an accurate count of the participants.

Be sure to complete the CCoH Release Form and bring it with you on Wednesday, March 13, 2019.
