Eastman Camera Club Outing 10/13

The club is sponsoring a trip to DuPont State Forest in NC this Saturday October 13.  It's the Friends of DuPont's annual Tour de Falls weekend.   The club made this trip a couple years ago and had a blast.

There are several good things about this outing:

1. Fall colors in the mountains.

2. No hiking required.  They run shuttle busses around the park this day.

3. Great fellowship
