SSI & Tofino Trip 2019
Hi Friends!
As you all know, I’m going to be in BC in September with one of my best friends in the world, and many folks have asked to meet up for some fun adventures during the trip. I’ve enclosed here our itinerary including where we’ll be before Tofino so that you’re welcome to join for any part of the time we’re there.

Financial Details
Staying in the house will be 45/p/night or so- if this is an impediment to you coming, just let me know and we’ll work it out.
Camping is not currently allowed in the B&B that we’ve chosen, so I’m in the process of re-booking. I’ll email everyone when I know the final location!
Food will need to be bought pre-Tofino unless y’all love 5 dollar avocados and/or dubious processed cheese. Message me if you’re bringing grub, so we don’t all end up with only salt and vinegar chips and hot dog buns.
Booze can be bought in Tofino relatively easily, but we’ll be bringing some SSI cider and booze with us from the island- message me if you want me to pick some up for you.
Trip Prep
If you want to come Ocean Fishing, you’ll need to do a little paperwork- here’s the application, its 20 bucks for non-residents and cheaper for you BC locals.
Bring hiking boots and a day pack if you want to do some walking.
Paul & Caithrin have made a solemn vow to trail run every day we’re out West- we suck, but you know, come join us anyways.
If you don’t have a ride from Vic, let us know- we are taking at least 3 cars and have loads of room.
If you want to surf while we’re there, hit up Bryce for board transport- not sure of the timing from his end but the Bongo is your best bet.
Other Details- message Caithrin!
Looking forward to seeing all you amazing friends so soon!
