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.
In the town of Wasagaming in Riding Mountain National Park there's a couple more wildlife statues. These are different in that they are created from natural ingredients if you will. Always a good thing in case your wildlife viewing efforts fall short.

We have visited two Bison Enclosures on past trips, one in Saskatchewan and one in Alberta. On both occasions we were bitterly disappointed, driving a long way on pothole-ridden gravel roads and seeing no signs of bison at all. With that in mind we undertook the voyage today with little to no expectation of seeing anything. Well, wouldn't you know it, we caught them on their lunch break so sat and watched them for about half an hour.
We also just about ran over this guy. He took his own sweet time crossing the road as we shut the engine off to wait. After an inordinate amount of time I started the engine and he disappeared in a hurry. Murray's friend Dale would know in an instant what this is. I'm guessing a ptarmigan or grouse but we're close enough to Saskatchewan so let's just call it a Prairie Chicken.
The grounds surrounding our cabin is quite lovely so a walk was a must. The path winds through the meadow and into the woods. A peaceful hike on another gorgeous, cool day.
Tomorrow we head north to Swan River. No idea what awaits so come along.
