    Dyan, I don't know where you are, but I am happy to offer a ride to anyone coming in from the corridor Hamilton - Mississauga, or from Cambridge area, etc. I'm in Brantford so it's a drive anyway. More is better.

       I had a great time,me and Rose- Ann ran late on the river to all the rocks we hit, due to the low water. Thank you for everyone who came out. 
    • Mary D (+1 guest)
       It certainly was a lot of fun. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Mary 
    •  Trip was great fun, boats were fine and so was equipment. Two of our group got separated and I'm concerned about that. Otherwise, it was good exercise and lovely scenery.
