Wallace:
On behalf of KOS, I thank you for the notification regarding the KOS =
spring
meeting and speaker Daniel Moss. All members of TOS and subscribers to
TNBIRD are most cordially welcome to attend Friday night only or the =
entire
weekend. There is a 5 dollar registration fee per person.
The reason this follow-up is that the Park Lodge had only 1 room =
available
as of Monday for Friday evening and none for Saturday. They do have
cottages at a substantially higher rate. They are nice cottages and are
probably worth the price, especially for friends to share. The park =
does
have an excellent campground and it is surrounded by the Pennyrile State
Forest where "primitive" camping is allowed. In this case, that means =
no
facilities.
The closest motel accommodations known to me are at the Spring Inn in =
Dawson
Springs. This is an older facility and is probably suitable for the =
budget
conscious birder. It is above 5 miles north of the park. Otherwise, =
there
is a Best Western/Pennyrile Inn at Morton Gap (perhaps 15 miles NE of =
the
park), a Holiday Inn Express and Days Inn in Madisonville, (about 25 =
miles
NE of the park) and motels in Hopkinsville. Most motels in Hopkinsville =
are
on the south side of town making the commute about 30 miles.
Pennyrile Forest State park is located just south of Dawson Springs just =
off
of KY HWY 109. This is about 25 miles NW of Hopkinsville.
For the record, the Saturday evening program is being presented by Dr. =
Doug
Stotz, Ornithologist of the field Museum of Natural History in Chicago.
Doug will be speaking on the dynamics that make the Chicago lakefront =
such
an outstanding migrant corridor and conservation steps needed to =
preserve
that corridor.
We would love to have as many Tennessee friends as possible so please =
feel
free to come and here 2 fine birders. We will all be glad to help you =
add
to your Kentucky lists if possible.
If anyone needs directions to the park, please feel free to contact me.
Below, is a link to the park web site.
