RASC Hamilton Partial solar eclipse tomorrow

[David Galbraith]

FYI

Drive to Kincardine/Point Clark area is about 3.5 hrs from Hamilton with a break. Best route is get to Kitchener-Waterloo and head NW on 85/86 (number varies but it's the same route) past Elmira, Listowell, Wingham to amber key & highway 21 which runs NS. Point Clark is 2 km North of Amberley. Kincardine is a bit further north.

For an elevated view there is a west-facing parking lot behind the Bean Bistro on Kincardine, on the west side of the main street across from the library. I can't guarantee how uncluttered that view will be in the direction of the sun, though.
