Brad, It's both! Something grand and somewhat of an inside joke. The Grandfather Mountain Nature Photo Weekend (http://www.grandfather-mountain.com/events/nphoto.htm) is an annual event held on....(drum roll please)... Grandfather Mountain. The link above will give you the details. Next year will be my fourth consecutive appearance. There will also be several other PDML'ers there, including Doug, (List Guy), Brewer; Tom (I don't use camera straps), VanVeen; Mark Roberts, Cesar Matamoros, John DeLoach, hopefully Cotty and Don DeLurker. Although the event doesn't kick off til Saturday, many of us arrive as early as Wednesday for some quality fellowship time and photography together. Next year's featured speaker will be Tony Sweet (http://www.tonysweet.com/). Tony was there 2 years ago and several of us had the unique opportunity of spending some time with him and observing him work.
