Sending our warm summer wishes to you. Well, so far we’ve driven 3900 miles from Walnut Creek in the motor home. This is not counting numerous day trips running about separately with the Toad from various base campsites. We took the northern route to Flin Flon located at the central NE border between Saskatchewan and Manitoba. From there we drove south along a scenic one lane highway to The Pas and on to Winnipeg. The prairie journey seemed uneventful to say the least with small town sites few and far in between. Other than some glimpses of a grey fox, deer and her spotted fawn, black crows and a raven, it was all prairie grasslands and boreal forests interspersed with a myriad of lakes, river crossings, and fields of yellow canola for seven hundred miles which eventually found us ready for a change of scenery. 
Sightseeing in Winnipeg allowed for time to enjoy St. Boniface Cathedral and St. Boniface Museum in the French Quarter.

The Forks along the Red River waterfront provided a wonderful open air plaza filled with boutique shops, a covered food market, cafes, and a glass elevator to see the city from high above. Touring The Royal Mint that makes all of Canada’s coins, the Olympic medals which believe it or not have only northwest Indian art designs, and coins for sixty different countries was most interesting.
