October 16, 2010. Elkhorn Resort, Manitoba, Canada.

Rolling hills and evergreen trees abound at this resort. Driving north from Brandon the land is flat, but bit by bit the hills appear, first small hills and then steep hills on the highway. It is all very sudden. Evidently, on the north side of the park the hills disappear and soon you are back to flat land. Soon we will explore the park, Riding Mountain National Park.



The Elkhorn resort is just barely in the park. It is not new but it is busy. Most cars are from Manitoba. People come to golf or hike, ride horses or relax at the Spa. Today is a perfect Fall day so many people have come for the weekend.



Wilma and I organized our food this morning and Ken and I went shopping at Sobeys in Brandon. Wilma raided her pantry and refrigerator so our little kitchen here will sustain us in fine style. The chalet we are staying in is adequate, but is short a second bathroom. The four of us will function just fine. It is bright and sunny and clean as a whistle. Taking a time share exchange is always a little dicey as you never know what you will fine. The resort calls itself a four star resort but I was told by a friend who lived in Manitoba that no such thing exists. We are here and will enjoy ourselves, especially since Wilma and I have booked a massage on Thursday!!
