I had asked the same question Randy, since I’ll likely have to book the Friday off if we leave mid day. I’m all for leaving just after noon on the Friday since cottage traffic is going to be an issue.BTW, I did not book the Saturday night hotel stay. Planning to leave late Saturday night since there is nothing planned for Sunday.

I will keep an eye on your plans. We will take 118 to Bancroft to 62 down to Belleville. Might be hard to make that work to meet up with you guys. Never know though.

I've driven to Kingston and the surrounding area many times, and it always gets ugly eastbound where the collectors merge into the express, unless you are driving way off-peak hours. Friday's are the worst.

Maybe we can find a meeting place past that point, and continue on from there. Cruising in heavy traffic is not that much fun, even though sometimes necessary.

Yes, there's nothing planned in Kingston for Sunday, but there is the the 'Dream Vettes" show, presented by Corvettes of Durham on Sunday in Oshawa, so I'm thinking of stopping there on the way back; I've booked both Friday and Saturday at the Ambassador.

I'm looking forward to the Kingston event for sure.

Whatever the plans, I'm willing to organize a meeting point in the west end.

As a suggestion, the On Route before Port Hope would be a good easterly meeting point as we would be past the 35/155 cut off and some of the cottage traffic. Plus coffee and washrooms. Its about 2 hours to Kingston from there. Meeting anywhere before 35/115 after 12:00 means stop and go traffic on most Fridays.

I'm going to try to leave by 10:00 AM, as long as Management agrees. Traffic is guaranteed to suck if I leave past 11:00. The On Route would be a good place to meet up. Don't know yet if CCO is going to organize anything in terms of traveling together. I'll ask at the next meeting.

Default Thank-you to everyone

What a great group! Six people sent private messages to help me.

I hope I have sent a private thank-you to everyone.

If I missed anyone, I am sorry. We are currently in Florida and the internet is not the best.

Thanks,

Rich

Got an email update from the organizer outlining the different activities. Definitely interested in the Friday and Saturday morning activities, but on Saturday afternoon we are on our own to do sightseeing activities. I’m not too keen on those, so wondering if anyone else is planning on something different.

i plan on attending the dinner Saturday and leaving in the evening.

I think this would be a good meet and departure at 10::00am Friday so we can be in Kingston by 12:00.

Will not be stoping at Yorkdale. Will be meeting at the onroute before Port Hope.

Ok, that works, it puts us in Kingston in time to check into the hotel, register and get downtown at 3:30.

Realistically, I won't be able to leave until 10:00. That would put us at the reroute about 11:00. Looks like I won't make the meet, but I'll pull into the parking area to see if anyone is around. Should get me into Kingston around 13:00.
