Another travel day. The weather was nice, a little cloudy but perfect at 12 degrees. There is no sign of smoke or fire in The Pas...given the news, that's a plus. We continued to travel in what could easily be Saskatchewan. I love that we are pretty well the only people on the road. Life is good!

Manitoba - Day 12
I include this photo to illustrate two things. 1) It sure looks like Saskatchewan and 2) It's not ALWAYS sunny with a perfect blue sky. 😅

Manitoba - Day 11
It's much cooler today, so truly does rank as beautiful to me. The Swan Valley Museum was closed but a lot of it is outside so it was enjoyable to see the vintage buildings. History returns to life.

Manitoba - Day 10
Today is a travel day for us as we head north to Swan River. I found out in a hurray you have to be specific when Googling it. Recently there was a fatal shark attack - apparently there's a Swan River in Australia too. 😅 We bid a fond farewell to the Crooked Mountain Cabins. They were a little cramped but just right for our purposes.

Manitoba - Day 9
As small as the cabin is we are really enjoying it. As a matter of fact, there is strong evidence that I'm getting taller as I age, not shrinking as I previously thought. Ah, the pioneers.

Manitoba - Day 8
I was up early so managed to catch the sunrise at 5:30AM. Not spectacular by any means but sweet because it's the first one I've seen since we arrived in the province.
A day to explore Riding Mountain National Park. This just looked like a nice place when I began researching last year so was the main reason I wanted to spend some time in Manitoba. The Eastern Gate of the park is an historic site. It has obviously been renovated but remains a majestic reminder of the past - especially given we travelled about 50 kilometres of gravel road to get to it.
Another day, another bear - two this time! A camera is unquestionably more successful than a phone for such occasions. We were only about ten yards away in the relative safety of the SUV.

Manitoba - Day 7
In spite of the technological mishaps it was sad to leave our palace in the woods. Just wait until you see what we traded for.
It started out as another beautiful day but as it progressed it clouded over and we even got a bit of rain. No matter - love being on the road. Having spent some time there in 2019, it sure was easy to see we were nearing Saskatchewan.
