Manitoba!

Another new province for us to log! We crossed from Saskatchewan to Manitoba today as we headed across the prairies to Winnipeg. We ran into some rather heavy rain on and off, and the highway was much rougher than yesterday. Still the same farmlands. We did pass an Excel headed west and honked a greeting. Mike and Judy headed out early this morning so that Mike could get in some golf today while Judy visited quilt shops.

We're at Travelers RV Resort on the southwest side of the city. After setting up we all gathered at the Evans for happy hour. We visited briefly with Lou and Judy and Natalie again, since they are also at Travelers, but tomorrow they'll head south.

Nanci describes today's drive: "Continuing east we crossed into the province of Manitoba. Following us into Winnipeg was a summer storm. For a short time we had heavy wind, rain, lightning and thunder. It’s hard to see out of the windshield when your wipers can’t even keep up with the rain. Along our scenic route we encountered some very bumpy roads." Their rear kitchen was so jostled that some cupboard supports gave way.

I talked to Chris tonight. Everything is going fine for their purchase of the duplex. He and Annie were just heading over to Ladd Circle to listen to the musicians. One of Annie's friends showed up, so she ran off to play.
