I am thinking very seriously about attending the OOS Spring Conference at Shawnee State Forest. Having never been to the conference or even to Shawnee, I was hoping to get some info from those who have.  I have read all the info on the website, but still have some questions.  Are there any cheap, decent places to stay in Portsmouth (Lodge is full)? Are any of the field trips preferable over others?  Are there great hotspots to hit other than going on the organized trips?  Are there many good photo opportunities (like at Magee Marsh) or is this mainly for birding? If any of you that have attended in the past could email me (or even a phone conversation) and share your information and experiences it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Scott
