they want me to navigate?!

Maybe I should not have given out my mobile number...

At 2:40 AM, my wireless rang. I was expecting it to be Tony; it was Denis. He was wondering if we were there/here, already at Humber Bay Park. Nope. He also wondered if he was in the right spot. When he explained how he had entered the park, I could that he was in Humber Bay Park West. Wrong section, dude. Back to Lakeshore. Go to the intersection of Lakeshore and Parklawn, go south on Parklawn, take the first right, and proceed to parking lot. See you soon.

As I was completing the final preparations before leaving, I received an email from Scott. He wanted to know where the parking lot was. Oh boy. At that precise moment, Trevor and Tony arrived. It was 2:45 AM sharp. Here we go!

Sent a very quick note with directions. Go to the intersection of Lakeshore and Parklawn, go south on Parklawn, take the first right, and proceed to parking lot. See you soon. And said I was heading out now...

We loaded up the mini van and then headed toward Parklawn, Trevor driving. Arrived at Humber Bay Park East in short order. Always amazes me how quiet a city is at 3:00 AM... Denis was unloading his gear from the AutoShare mini van as we arrived.

Then Sharmin phoned. She and Bill needed directions. Crikey. They were near Ellis. Ellis? And then Winderemere. Oh! Way too far east. They must have jumped off at Dunn! I told them to carry on Lakeshore. Go to the intersection of Lakeshore and Parklawn, go south on Parklawn, take the first right, and proceed to parking lot. See you soon.

Was this going to keep happening for the next while? I had already told myself that I need to avoid distractions to ensure I could properly set up. I considered muting the phone...

In short order, everyone else arrived, including Jim, Scott, Kiron, and Steve.

OK. People don't live around here. So they need some extra help. I should have provide lat and long to these peeps... My oversight.
