This trip is organized by James at [Ontario Backcountry Camping](https://www.meetup.com/ontariobackcountry/). To register go to: [Camping at High Falls on Eels Creek, Fri, Apr 17, 2026, 12:00 PM | Meetup](https://www.meetup.com/ontariobackcountry/events/313823145/?eventOrigin=group_upcoming_events) Canoe, Kayak, or hike to High Falls on Eels Creek, 2 hours from Toronto. **The meeting location and put-in is the parking lot on Northeys Bay Road. Coordinates are 44.58821797620266, -78.07077482325549** This is a short 20-30 minute paddle up Eels Creek (or 5KM hike) for a spring camping trip. Stay for one night or two, up to you. There is some fast moving water at the start which we can portage around if the current is too strong, after that it's an easy paddle. We will setup camp close to the falls or on the small lake close by. There is a hiking trail from the parking lot to the falls but may not be easy this time of year due to high water on a creek crossing. If you want to hike in, that is an option, but waders might be a good idea. Explore the trail or portage your boat up the falls and continue upstream for a paddle. I was here 10+ years ago; there is a really nice waterfall, some rapids upstream which I was able to paddle through, and some petroglyphs on the rocks along side the creek. I have not hiked the trail but I hear it's a good hike. This is crown land so camping is free. You can try the hike, bring a canoe/kayak, have a paddle partner with a canoe, or arrange a shuttle to camp. The paddle is short so we could make multiple trips. I will be canoeing in on Friday. Be prepared for the weather. **You are responsible for yourself and your own safety.**

While a philosopher might ask the question, “Why are we here?”, geologists want to know, “How did we get here?”. In this meetup we will travel back in time through the Earth’s history; learning how our planet operates today, what it may have been like in the past, and the tools geologists use to figure these things out. Join us for this quick trip through geologic time, from the Anthropocene to the Hadean! For this meetup, we have an expert in earth sciences who will share her expertise with us and facilitate the gathering. Silvia Castilla is a PhD student in the Earth Sciences department at the University of Toronto. Her research focuses on volcanology and isotope geochemistry to understand the processes that occur before volcanic eruptions. Her PhD project involves studying rocks from around the world, conducting stable isotope analyses, and applying these techniques to determine how long it takes for a volcano to erupt. \-\-\-\-\- No readings for this meetup, but I’m including a great Radiolab episode that explains the science of dating rocks [https://radiolab.org/podcast/heavy-metal](https://radiolab.org/podcast/heavy-metal) \-\-\-\-\- I will take some pictures during the meetup.

We have never until now featured Zinfandel, the ubiquitous California grape with the Dublin Wine MeetUp Group. At its best Zinfandel, is rich, voluptuous, with great depth of red and blue fruits. Jammy and hedonistic are common descriptions Each person should bring one bottle of an quality Zinfandel wine; be creative and quality conscious, with some bottle age if possible. Turley, Martinelli, Biale, Seghesio, Ridge, Hartford Bedrock, Carlisle, Klinker Brick, Frog's Leap, and anything from the Rockpile vineyard is likely to be very good to great. The Prisoner wines began as a Zinfandel blend. Also bring a protein based appetizer to share and **a wine glass for your personal use.** Cheese and meats are best with these wines. There will be a gas grill behind the clubhouse to grill. We’ll gather at the Oak Creek clubhouse, where the Dublin Wine Group, hosted by Thom and supported by Timothy, will take it from there.
