Hello, This message is about organizing this year's trip to Tobermory. For those who are new to it: Since the early seventies of the last century, members of the department, their families, friends, visitors... go to Tobermory, on the tip of the Bruce Peninsula, at the end of September. We go there Friday afternoon/evening, hike all Saturday along the Bruce trail that follows the Niagara escarpment, stretching all the way from Niagara to Tobermory, go to the beach or "cliff climbing" (an eternal favourite with the kids!) on Sunday morning, and then head back to Toronto, with the possibility of dinner on the way. It is a great way to get some fresh air after the first few weeks of classes and to enjoy the early fall. Sturdy shoes and rain gear (depending on the forecast) are recommended. There are limited possibilities to buy supplies in Tobermory, so you may wish to bring water and food for the hike with you. For those who would rather not hike the whole day, there are several alternatives to do just parts of the hike. Keeping with tradition, I suggest we go the weekend of Sept. 30 - Oct. 2. I'm willing to make the hotel reservations, so let me know by Thursday, Sept. 22, that you can come and how many rooms/beds you will need, whether you are prepared or wish to share a room; you can also make your own reservations directly via internet. The webpage for the hotel that we have been using is at: http://www.coachhouseinnresort.com/ or you may have any preferences for a particular motel from previous years. Just let me know that you are coming, who you are bringing with you, and whether you have room in your car to bring others; also if you need a ride to get there (and back). (In the past, some people have shared a car rental for the weekend.) Hope to see you on the Bruce trail. John (bland@math.toronto.edu)
