Please note:  This is the Updated Outing Information – Marauder Outing to Santa Fe, Via the Rail Runner Train

On Wednesday, Sept. 30th, we will take the Rail Runner Train to and from Abq to Santa Fe.  When we arrive at the Santa Fe Train Depot, you have a choice of walking through Old Town, Canyon Road etc., or going to Museum Hill.   Two of the Museums at Museum Hill are free on Wednesdays.  

 We will then meet at Tomasitas at the Train Depot at about 1:15 pm for lunch and then catch the train back to Abq. 

 The train is free on Wednesdays for persons 60 years and older,  Here are the details:

 Take the #510 train from the at 9:50am from the Los Ranchos/Journal Center Station, and arrive at the Santa Fe Train Depot at 11:16 am.  

 Either take the free shuttle, which leaves about every 30 minutes to go to the Historic Plaza, Canyon Road, and the Roundhouse.  

 If you prefer to go to Museum Hill, it is recommended you take an Uber/Lyft, as the wait to get a shuttle to and from Museum Hill takes too long. If you are going to Old town, Canyon Road, etc.,  

 If you are walking/taking the shuttle from Old Town, Canyon Road, start heading back to the Train Depot around 12:30 pm. 

 If returning from Museum Hill, leave about 12:30 pm so as to arrive at Tomasitas (at the train depot) at 1:15 pm. Depart from the Santa Fe Train Depot (adjacent to Tomasitas) via Train #515 at 2:46 pm, and arrive at the Los Ranchos/Journal Center Station at 4:13 pm

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.
