Title: Any recommendations for Family Day in the Kingston area?
Post by: Julie on February 13, 2008, 01:30:36 PM

hi

the subject line says it-- we're off to Kingston for the long weekend and wondered what you folks would recommend. We will try to stop in at Presq'ile on the way back, but around Kingston and local islands, what you recommend?

thanks

Julie

Hi Julie,

We are going there too.
The Wolfe Island, JTF where to go on the island and what time would be most productive for shooting?

A little out-of-season, but I love Kingston for SCUBA...  (http://www.fuzzy-riders.com/phpBB2/images/smilies/mat.gif)

If you make your way out there, please be careful - not looking like it's going to be the nicest of days.
