Don, Count Lynda and me in for the trip. How about the first week-end in December as a possibility before the weather gets bad, or did you already have a different week-end in mind?

If anyone would like to go let me know. Viewing is from late November to late February. Hotels in nearby Dayton TN start at $40.00. Being about 3 hours from my home in Bristol, 5 hours from Grundy, it's too much of a drive for a day trip. Last year I was lucky enough to get 2 Whooping Cranes! Anyone interested reply to this list and maybe your fellow list members will join us as well! Don Carrier
