hi folks,

For anyone wanting to meet in the Kingston area instead, you can meet the
crew at Clairmont Provincial Park between 9:45 am and 10:00 am.

If coming from the Wolfville area, take HWY 101 exit 16 (Aylesford, Auburn,
Morden) turn left off the exit, then right onto HWY 1 and continue until
you reach the park entrance. Google Map:
