WGNSS Nature Photography Group - Chair: Casey Galvin
Greetings nature photographers!
September 14th, 2024 - 7:00 am
Meet Up Location: Commuter Parking across from Shaw Nature Reserve
We will meet at the commuter parking lot directly across from Shaw Nature Reserve at I-44 and MO HWY 100 in Grey Summit, MO. GPS coordinates: lat. 38.47410054934945, long -90.85205206742184 at 7am Saturday 14th of September.
We will carpool from here to the site.
If you want to meet us at the site directions from Saint Louis: I-44 to Hwy T (Doolittle exit), travel South thru Newberg, MO. Turn right (West) onto HWY P. Travel approximately 5 miles look for small sign on right side road for Mill Creek Recreational Area/ Kaintuck Hollow. This is County Road 7550 or Mill Creek Road. Turn left and follow road to the Camping/ Picnic are on left. GPS coordinates lat. 37.873302185194724 long. -91.92883450250406. We will meet at approximately 9am here.
The site has Mill Creek (an exceptionally good creek), small dolomite bluff, woodland and fen. You can walk along the edge of the fen, but to enter it you should have rubber boots. There are deep muck areas in the fen, so precaution is always should be taken.
The main goal is our annual look for slug moths, but I am sure we will see other interesting subjects. On the return we will most likely stop at one of the good eating establishments along the way.
