Manitoba - Day 18

We awoke to a layer of ice and heavy frost on the deck. The weather has certainly changed in the last few days. No worries. I have confidence the BBQ and deck will thaw out in time for dinner preparation.

We hope to avoid rain, though if it does anything it will snow. The temperature is zero with a wind chill of minus 6. A bit nippy for mid-May and outside my personal perfect temperature range of between 3 and 17 degrees C.

Pisew Falls is off the highway, the only highway here, about 50 kilometres from our cabin. We have heard many good things about it so today is our last chance to explore the area.

At Pisew Falls the Grass River plunges over a 13 metre drop making it Manitoba's second highest waterfall. As hilarious as that sounds it really was quite spectacular – and it came with its own snow cone formed from the constant spray of water. 

A little farther down river a suspension bridge spans 153 feet across the Grass River. It was constructed and funded by the Rotary Club and community businesses and groups in 1996.

A last photo of the cabin. It really does look nice from the outside and we adapted to the occasional crime scene views at times. All in all it was a good choice. Actually if you want to see this area it's the only place to stay outside Thompson...and apparently it's lucky we did not choose to stay there.

Time to make dinner.  

Tomorrow we head south toward Winnipeg. We'll be stopping somewhere; it's still about 750 kms away and I don't do that anymore. Hang in there - it'll be a surprise for all of us.
