On the weekends the Humber parking lots are open and free and a pass is not required. The pass is required during the day when classes are on. The kiosk on the road to Lot 1 won't be occupied on the weekend.

From the Humber web site:
There is no charge for parking at the Humber North or Lakeshore Campus after 4:30 p.m. weekdays or anytime during the weekend.

I would like to come to this event, but I am also on the list for the E-Session Mock-up @ The Distillery Historic District which is the same day and same time, and I am waiting for the word that event is on for sure. So I am on the maybe list for now.

I was hoping I could make this event seeing as it is a great place and very close to where I live. But events have conspired to make it unworkable. Have a great shoot!

Thanks Randy and Noobclicker for coming out. It was a great day, nice weather, nice wildlife and scenery to shoot, good company. A very fun day. Nice hike we covered a lot of the park trails.

Thanks Daryl for letting me know you weren't coming.
