Well here we are in Kakabeka Falls about 2 pm, lost another hour today. We left Fort Frances this am after fueling up at the Husky. Diesel was 1.09 per litre. The road today was fairly quiet with the major traffic being gravel trucks and pulp wood trucks. The highway was good with lots of lakes and beautiful scenery to enjoy. Enjoyed the causeway at Fort Frances. Not many places to stop and take pictures as there is very few pullouts. Naturally had to stop at the Arctic Water Shed where all water flows north to the Arctic Ocean. Highway speeds are only 90 so it takes awhile to get anywhere. After getting set up at Happy Land Rv Park we went to view the falls. Linda got some great shots from all angles. Lots of water going over them. This was today's highlight.
Kenora to Fort Frances
Left Kenora for the trip down Hwy 71 to Sioux Narrows and Nestor Falls. More great scenery and windy roads. Good driving with very light traffic. No construction, but a fair amount of west wind and some light rain, but not enough to get the RV dirty. This was my old stomping grounds when I was a much younger guy.
Winnipeg to Kenora
Spent a whole day in the Grand Beach area of Lake Winnipeg. Lots of great open beaches with the whitest sand. Linda took some awesome shots. Farm land in the area is really lush and a deep green. Lots of farm yards are very large with lots gardens and lawn. Probably great this year because of the rain. Doug Neal was right, it is a beautiful place. The next day we did the Winnipeg city thing, toured their beautiful Legislative Building and grounds. Went to The Forks which is a special shopping and meeting place, it is also located where the Red River and Assiniboine Rivers meet. Lots of people and boats there. Very hot also at 33. Hottest day for us yet.
