We will meet the afternoon of Friday, April 19, at Red River Pizzeria. Located downtown Nacona.   We'll discuss where and what we will be doing for the next day activities.  We will finish around Midnight, weather permitting on April 20.  Most of the photos will be wildlife, night astronomy, possible coyotes and bobcats, numerous songbirds, feral hogs and deer.    For night photography the sky is black and will be able to see constellations, stars and planets, that really stand out against one the darkest nights in Texas. We'll also go St. Jo little town east of Nacona and have lunch. So, bring wide-medium and large format lenses and any night photography equipment that you might have. Also bring a good tripod and a bottle of air or rocket blower to keep your camera and lenses free of dust.  Bring bug spray and sun lotion.
