Location:

The workshop will be held in the beautiful Laurel Highlands in Southwestern Pennsylvania about 50 miles from Pittsburgh. In early October the vegetation in the Highlands puts on a beautiful show of colors and the weather is still not too chilly. The event will take place at the Summit Inn, situated on one of the Laurel Ridges. It is right up the road from the Laurel Caverns where amateur spelunkers can visit the underground caverns. The banquet will take place at Frank Lloyd Wright’s wonderful Fallingwater.

Weather and clothing

Although the weather in the northeastern US is very warm (as of the end of August), it will be getting cooler and the days will be getting shorter. You should prepare for rain, for cooler evenings and, for the visit to Laurel Caverns, you should wear appropriate shoes.
