Photo Excursions by Jeff Cowell

The ever-changing, more exciting than ever

Box of Rocks Photo Excursion
- 2012 -

 Once a year we head out for Western Kansas to explore some of our great State's more interesting landscapes. Before you know it that time will be here again, and we plan to have a blast this year visiting some new sites that have never been included on this trip. NO, you haven't been there and done that! That's right; I'm changing the trip again.

Those of you who participated in our previous Box of Rocks Photo Excursions or our Flint Hills Photo Excursions, know how much fun these excursions truly are.

Well, this year the Box of Rocks Photo Excursion is sure to be a real crowd pleaser for this 2-day and 2-night trip. Instead of leaving on Saturday Morning, we are heading out on Friday evening. That will give us the ability to go further out than ever before and still be home at a reasonable hour on Sunday evening.

The following is a list of sites that may be among our stops;

Coronado Heights
Arikaree Breaks
Rock City
Finney County Wildlife Preserve
Mushroom Rocks
Garden of Eden
Castle Rock
Monument Rocks
Wilson Lake State Park
Lincoln County
Lindsborg
Montezuma Wind Farm
Cathedral on the Plains
Big Basin and Little Basin
St. Jacob's Well
Maxwell Wildlife Preserve
(And frankly, there's no telling where we might wind up)


Included in the price of this trip are:

Breakfasts
 Lunches
Snacks & Water
Dinner
Lodging (with breakfast)
Transportation (charter bus or van(s) depending on participation).

 Our schedule:

We will leave Wichita at 6:30 p.m. on Friday and return some time after 7 p.m. on Sunday.

We hope to have some good sunrise and sunset locations.

Members’ guest(s) or spouse qualifies for member's rate.
Membership in usphotographers.com cost only $30 per year, so become a member now and save on future trips too.

Member discount is available for Wichita Area Camera Club members also.

 Everyone involved in prior years have come away with a lot of photos and great memories too. We may find it necessary to alter our route depending on the time spent at each location. We try to spend as much time as necessary at each stop to satisfy the photographic desires of all involved. We will also alter our routes as necessary for weather.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

You should bring sturdy, comfortable shoes. There's walking to do if you want to see some of these areas.

It is COLD on these mornings, so you'll want to dress in layers so you can strip layers off, as the days can get quite warm.

We do our best to make sure you don't have to sit in the vehicle for long stretches. If you see something that you would like to shoot, just let us know. If we can stop, we will.

We try to make plenty of stops where you can take advantage of roadside services.

If you are NOT able to walk, stand or climb on your own, there are a lot of place you will not be able to see. There is still plenty of shooting to do from the area of the vehicle, but these areas are NOT handicap accessible. You need to be able to get yourself around some rough terrain to get to the best sights.

The lunch menu has not yet been determined, but it's been interesting and tasty in the past. I try to include fruits, chips and cookies for snacks.
