Manitoba - Day 14

Given what we've been hearing and seeing online, we are fortunate that there are no wildfires nearby and no smoke in the air - for now. It was pretty funny though...we headed for Clearwater Lake Provincial Park about 40 kilometres north of The Pas and when I set up the GPS rather than hear "turn right on Main Street" we were greeted with "your route may be affected by severe fire". Good morning to you too.

There's a short hiking trail (I may argue that terminology in this case) called The Caves in the park. They are not caves but actually deep crevasses in the ground. You'd best stick to the trail this time. It was a very rough trek for a good part of the hike. Rocks and roots combined with fallen trees and overgrown conditions to the point that the trail was not found at all. Ultimately we made our way back by backtracking onto the trail we took in. It was supposed to be a loop. All part of the fun, which it truly was.

Decided to check out the beach on our return to town. Love the crowd situation though you really do need to be there when the name dictates...this is Sunset Beach.  😅

When there's no wildlife to be seen, be innovative. Works for me!

Hope our luck holds for tomorrow. Gone are the days when you just had to worry about booking a smoke-free room...now you need to concern yourself with a smoke-free outdoors. So sad.
