Where along the Bay?

Whilst this visit is primarily a reunion it is also a chance to discover together what style, size and location of house we agree on. So we have cast our net a little further afield from Meaford rather than be blinded by what has brought us to like Meaford already.
Fifteen km to the east is a town called Thornbury. Whilst it doesn't have a very large or attractive shopping centre, it does have a very appealing housing sector which also adjoins Clarkesburg. I could probably live there.
There are a few hamlets along the bay between Thornbury and Collingwood as well as many holiday cottages along the shore. The escarpment is only a couple of hundred meters high but it is adorned with ski slopes that are owned by the many resorts or clubs. The highest would be on "Blue Mountain" which shouldn't be confused with "Township of Blue Mountain"(and the Municipality thereof)





With Megan working in Collingwood we bypassed there as we can look there another day. So we ventured further east around the Bay to Wasaga Beach. It stretches a considerable distance but not back from the bay very much. It didn't take us long to decide that it is NOT the place for us. It is more of a "summer holiday" haunt when the population at least quadruples. So it's bye-bye bikini girls :(
I didn't even bother to take any pics in the region.
The other disadvantage of Wasaga Beach is the horendous traffic delays in the holiday season. Especially for those needing to commute to work.
So we have narrowed things down a bit already and that has got to be positive in my mind.
