(Personally, I don't mind an early start on Sat. say meet up at 6;00 or even earlier & get rolling at 7am at the latest? . Google says it's about 3.5 hr to the park location, not including stops.

Adam, could you suggest a meet up spot just east of Toronto etc just off the highway that works? (preferably a place for us who'll need to top up on food/gas & empty out! :shock:

I might consider leaving even earlier than 6am to try and be there for the park opening time (tba).


Please bring your FRS radios (& extra batteries) for the day; those help a lot when cruising in a group. FRS channel set up will be the month & day.

6 AM, East of Toronto? Hell I'm in Hamilton, LOL!

Is there a host Hotel/Motel at all?

I may go down the night before.

What park?

Just a thought. :)

I'll be coming down to stay with family in Pickering, and will meet up for the caravan.

ok, suggested & easiest meet up point is the eastbound OnRoute, Port Hope. Meet up 6-6:30 am.

It has food, washrooms, gas etc.

(It's about 1.25 hrs from Mississauga to that point, and another 2 hrs or so from Port Hope to the park; total approx. 3.25 hrs acc to google maps)
I plan to gas up again in Port Hope & hopefully won't need to again? :lol:

Our departure time from the OnRoute Port Hope will be at 7am if you want to stick with me.
If people don't want to venture up & onwards that early, a second caravan group can always follow afterwards of course.
I'll leave it up to you as to those 2nd group details.

Don't forget your GPS radios & cell phones. GPS channel for the day will be the date 7-4

Hope this helps!

To avoid having to get up extremely early for the drive from London, I'll be staying over with some family in Pickering on Friday night.

That said, Google Maps says Port Hope is 1hr east of Pickering. So, attempting to be there for a 0600-0630 is unrealistic for me. There is not enough coffee at an On Route to get me up that early.

Any interest in meeting in the Pickering area? I'm not overly familiar with the area, but I think the Canadian Tire at Brock Rd is convenient (adjacent to 401 exit/onramps, and a parking lot, and gas and Tim Hortons nearby...)

Nick has a start time of 0900 in Gananoque, and Google Maps says it's 2.5 hours from Pickering. So leaving 0800 should get us there for 10:30-1100. After the start, but at least we'll be awake.

Anybody else on-board for this? NOTE: At least a single person has to confirm on here. If I nobody chimes in, I'll just hit the 401 as soon as I get up.

That's good with me. That's 1 hour from where I wanted to leave at 0800, anyway. Meet at 0900, leave at 0930?

So nobody for gathering in Pickering? I'll just drive straight to the OnRoute then.
