Saskatchewan ho!

I've just spent the two most lovely days in Winnipeg with Lena and Heather, visiting, seeing the famous Golden Boy atop the provincial legislature, (go ahead ask me anything- we took the tour) and canoeing down the Assinaboine. It was a super chance to catch up, and I hope to return again on the return trip home.

Quetico was so amazing, I had to spend a little extra time there, despite the very cold nights. I kayaked so far and long I wondered if I'd have shoulder dislocation issues, but I'm still in one piece. I saw a moose-cow and her calf chewing the bull rushes by the shore, a still unidentified bird that looked like some kind of turkey, and spent nights watching the Northern Lights- something I haven't seen in years.

I'm having the most lovely time.

Tonight I hope to make Moose Jaw, and to see the underground tunnels once used for liquor and immigrant smuggling.

Happy Trails to you...
