Please note: There are certain natural and artificial surface conditions, such as grass, wood chips, stones, stairs, steep slopes and uneven terrain which can make walking and use of a wheelchair difficult.
THE PLAN: To photowalk as a group through the Cranbrook Gardens. Taking photos and/or video along the way that help tell your Detroit story! You can use
http://j.mp/9ZUHI8 to spread the word about this Facebook Event, and tweet with hashtag #photowalkcran.
MEETUP DETAILS:
1) Enter at the main Cranbrook entrance on the west side of Woodward Avenue between Lone Pine and Long Lake.
2) Follow the road (and the signs for the Science Museum) until it ends.
3) Turn left and park in the gravel lot on the right or in the structure on the left.
4) Meet at the sculpture where the road ended.
5) From here we'll do a quick roll-call and venture on...
SIGNUP: We will meet just inside the entrance and begin from there. Please visit

ADMISSION: The Cranbrook Gardens website states there is an entrance fee of $6 for adults, $5 for seniors and $15 for families, but we hesitate to say you couldn't get in for free. For additional information on all tours, please call 248-645-3147.
PHOTOWALKING? If you're new to the idea, it is simply the act of walking with a camera for the main purpose of taking pictures of things you may find interesting. More information here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photowalking. No pressure. Just bring your favorite point-and-shoot, dSLR, or even video camera and have some fun with us!
AFTERWARD: For those interested we will end our walk (offsite) at Dick O'Dow's in downtown Birmingham.
