Details:

What: Chasin' waterfalls
When: Sat. March 20, 2010
Time: 8AM
Where: Port Credit Go station / Ancaster area
Bring: Camera, Tripod, ND filters, lunch money and yourself!

I'm going to be visiting some waterfalls tomorrow. Falls on the list include: Dundas Falls, and Washboard falls. I've got at least 2 seats in my car if anyone wants to tag along, or if you want to meet us out there that works as well.

These are new to me so I won't be half the guide Tyler is, but it should be fun anyway.

Hope to hit some place for lunch around 12ish and if the weather holds out we'll prolly pack it in around 4pm.

I'd like to come, but I'll have to drive myself as I have another commitment in Toronto in the evening. I could take someone back to Toronto in the evening (probably either Yorkdale or Kipling subway, but I won't know for sure until I check the map and time when I get home tonight) asclong as they are willing to get to Mississauga in the morning and to leave when I need to leave.

Nice Mike!

Here is quick route I came up with, it's a nice loop off the 403.

- Stephanies Falls
- Mill + Lower Mill falls
- Lunch?
- Sherman falls
- Little Falls
- Tiffany Falls
- Washboard falls

We can see what time is left and if you want to visit anything not in the list above. I really wanted to visit Albion falls and Dundas but they're a bit out of the way, we can decide tomorrow which to hit and skip.

Still working on a meeting place.

that is an amazing map, will definitely use at some point!

btw, don't go chasing waterfalls, please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to~

Janet and I are going to the waterfront to shoot the sunrise before waterfalls if anyone wants to join us. We will be parked at the foot of Helene St (small parking lot by the water), and will be shooting between the small beach and the gazebo at 6:15am-7:45am. If we don't see you there we will meet you at the Port Credit Go taxi/passenger pick-up at 8am.
My phone# is 416-720-9745 if you want to contact me.

Hey, sorry I missed you guys.
Looks like we did a bit of a different route.
I ended up checking out the Devil's Punch Bowl, Felker Falls, Albion Falls and Tiffany Falls.
Devil's was a fun hike, actually.
