Day 3 at the beach and all is going great. I spent Saturday and part of Sunday helping Uncle Mike get some things fixed around the beach house.

Day 4 was an amazing day starting in Winnipeg and heading to Riding Mountain Provincial Park. It was already in the low 50′s when we left Winnipeg and headed west. The first 50 miles or so were pretty bland, all Interstate on the Trans-Canadian Highway until we could turn north toward the park. By the [...]
