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.


As is the case in many National Parks, Red Chairs are set up at random and you're supposed to try and find as many as you can. This is it, at the last second, as we exited the park. Riding Mountain National Park is certainly worth a visit. I am grateful we saw the wildlife we did. We saw only one deer today as we drove the entire South to North length of the park...and it was a very fleeting glimpse at that. No photo.


As is the case in many remote areas of Canada, there is a surprising Ukrainian influence. That is a particularly welcome and comforting presence, especially in today's times.


As we head further west and north, it's beginning to look a lot like Saskatchewan, as well it should, it's only a few kilometres away.


In a single day we have come from wilderness to suburbs. People around here are asking us why we are visiting Swan River. Honestly? It's part way between here and there. Hope it's nice. Our new home...


Always enjoy arriving in a new place. Crazy eh?


We'll all just have to wait and see what tomorrow brings.   ðŸ˜Ž
