Our leader, Richard, Helgy, Steve, Christine, Ann, Andy and Case.

After a good breakfast at the Princess Hotel in Tobermory we drove to the parking area on Little Cove Road 
and started out road walking toward Highway #6. 
The weather was cool, about 10C and although it was dry, rain was predicted.

The sun broke out on our hike along Little Cove Road.

The rain started when we turned north on Highway #6.

We turned right on to Dunk's Bay Road and headed back to the Georgian Bay shore.

Although the weather was not ideal we took the time to follow the 
Burnt Point Side Trail to Dunk's Point and back.

At the Bruce Peninsula National Park Visitor Center we stopped at the Lookout Tower 
From here it was a short distance to the Bruce Trail Cairn on the waterfront in |Tobermory.
