Early bird gets the worm and a few tips for you young kiddies that enjoy sleeping in - the time is 0715 and we've had a full HOUR of beautiful sunlight already - June is the best time to go to the Laking Garden RBG bridge and you MUST get there at the crack of dawn (0615 on the longest days of the year)- the sun wasted no time now that the trees were wiped away in the GO expansion in 2009. You never know what you'll get and I was equally rewarded with this leader. Not to mention most eastbounds on CN run through from 0600 to 0900, by the time some 'fans arrive they've missed everything BUT 331 :). After 0900 the light is generally done and you have to go a bit east at the Berm or Waterdown Rd for better lighting until you have to turn your sights to westbounds in the afternoon.
