Marauders Outings

 The information below is also posted on the club  calendar.   Additional details (including maps) will be provided by email to all club members before each outing.

————————————————————————————————————————————

The Railyard Market, Sunday, June 14th, 10:00 am start.  Parking is free, but best to get there early, and sharing a ride is a good idea.  Photograph people, vendors, and of course, there is access to portions of the railyard.   Located at 777 1st Street SW, Albuquerque, NM 87102  next to the Historic Barelas neighborhood.  Let’s eat afterward at the Market.

​ A great opportunity has opened up, and our July 1st outing will now be to the historic Luna Mansion in Los Lunas, from 10:00 am-11:30 am on Wednesday July 1st.   The entry fee is only $5.00/person.  The address is 110 Main St SW, Los Lunas, NM 87031.  
This is a unique opportunity, as the Luna Mansion is only open by paid group reservations.  There is great architecture and artifacts to photograph.  At 11:30, we will head across the street for lunch at the (also historic) Wittwer home, now Teofilos Mexican Restaurant (144 Main St NW, Los Lunas, NM 87031)

Built in 1881 in Los Lunas, New Mexico, the Luna Mansion is an architectural rarity: the only known Victorian-style structure built using adobe and terron. It was constructed by the Santa Fe Railroad in exchange for a right-of-way through the prominent Luna-Otero dynasty’s lands.

Capulin Spring (on the road to the Sandia Crest), Wednesday July 22nd, 8:00 am start time.  Meet in the first parking lot at the Capulin Springs Picnic Site, 8 miles up the Crest Road from the roundabout junction with State Route 14. The site is well marked with a forest service sign. At 10:00 am, we will head to Cedar Crest – to the Trail Rider Restaurant, located at 12165 NM-14 B1, Cedar Crest, NM 87008.

The Marauders have one (and sometimes more) photo outings each month, mostly on Wednesday, with some weekend outings.  We choose locations within about a 1 hour drive from Albuquerque.

Attendees are members of the Enchanted Lens Camera club, and their invited guests. Marauders outings are communicated by Club e-mail and the outing is also posted on the Club Calendar. Photographs of attendees of Marauder Outings may be posted on the ELCC Marauder Flickr Group site, as well as included in photo collages which are distributed to club members via email. 

 Barry Schwartz is the Marauders Chair.  Team members are: Earl Schwers, Mike McGovern, Joanne Ladisa, Stephen Foiles, Carla Chirigos, Jan Ward, Gary Smith, Laura Munzlinger, and Tom Kilroy. 
 

We encourage members to post their Marauders images on Flickr, in the Marauders Group. You can join the group by following these instructions:

Once you have joined Flickr, go to your new home page.  At the top of their page there is a search box that says “Photos, people, or groups”. Enter “ELCC” and then click the “groups” drop down. You should get all of the ELCC’s Groups with those letters.  Click the join button for the “ELCC Mid-Week Marauders” and Tom Kilroy will approve your entry to the group when he gets the Flickr’s auto email.  Once you are approved as a member of the Flickr Marauders Group, when you are uploading an image, click on the “Add To Groups”  and select the Marauders Group. For images already posted in Flickr, scroll down to the “Add to Group” box, and a list of your groups will open – and select the Marauders Group and the image will be added to the Flickr Marauders Group.
