Headed out a little later today, since it’s a much shorter drive to Winnipeg and we get an hour back along the way. It was beautiful and sunny for the drive, a pleasant change from yesterday’s rain. Still lots of beautiful lakes all along the highway to look at.

We swept through Sonia’s home town of Dryden and saw their moose. Quite the town Dryden. I feel for Paul and family now when he drives 21 hours to visit , mine are only 2 hours away. Considerably closer all things considered. Next up a few hundred kM down the road was Kenora, the last Ontario city on the TransCan before hitting Manitoba. We saw Husky the Muskie, although where not completely clear on his purpose. We had lunch across the road in McLeod park where there was a tugboat left over from when the mill used to run their timber down the river. Since it bore John’s last name we felt it warranted a photo.
Once we got into Manitoba, the only province that I have not visited yet, we passed a convoy of ATVs on the side of the highway. Actually, they where making pretty good time, probably going at least 60. I must admit, I’ve heard about Saskatchewan being flat, but from what I saw of Manitoba it’s pretty flat too. How much flatter can Saskatchewan be? Guess we’ll find out tomorrow.
We’re staying at my Auntie Heather and Uncle Rick’s place, giving us a nice place to stay and a good visit.
