Manitoba - Day 5

It was an absolutely gorgeous day. Sunshine, clear blue sky and about 18 degrees. I love that.

Today was an “explore the park” day because tomorrow we'll be heading back to Hecla PP which involves a 50 km round trip drive on the gravel road, something I don't want to do more than once. As it is, we'll have done in twice in this stay.

Bottom line, Grindstone is a nice area; very quiet, a cottage area that has not begun the season yet and very pretty. The views of the lake in particular are so cool (even cold) as there's still plenty of ice. It always feel cold, partially because of the wind but even a gentle breeze brings cold air off the surrounding ice of which there is copious amounts.

Even the sections we drove were so wonderful because of the sun.

There are plenty of beaches along the shore of Lake Winnipeg. Occasionally after a walk in the woods one might be inclined to check for ticks. Here, a walk out to the beach requires a thorough shoe cleaning afterwards to remove all the goose shit.

After lunch we decided to check out the South Beach neighbourhood that we call home on foot. Similar to this morning's views but oh so wonderful in this weather.
