It was a splendid day, driving on roads we had never been on before and seeing sights that were new. Keith drove the whole time. He seems to enjoy driving, at least he does it cheerfully which I appreciate. Wilma and I mapped out our route last night, being sure to make the trip a full circle with no backtracks. The ultimate destination was to visit The Narrows and get back home on new roads. The Narrows is a small body of water connecting two parts of Lake Manitoba. Keith and Wilma had not visited that area for twenty years, so they were keen to see how things had changed.
Keith and Wilma are wonderful travellers. They are willing and eager to drive down any road and walk any trail, just in the hope that something interesting would be at the end of the road. They will stop at every historical signs and for every animal even though it is a rabbit. Today we saw many deer, several bald eagles, many spruce grouse, some rabbits and lots of Canada Geese flying south.
It turned out to be an Indian circle, down a long road and along a walking path of stones, ending at a nature trail. It was remote and it all started by a small sign saying "Thunder bird Circle". It was old and it was interesting.
Next up was a sign "Marsh-4K". We took that road and found a large marsh with a mile long board walk, all through the marsh. The hike was invigorating as the wind was strong and the temperature was fifty F. The additional mile we left for another day as Ken and I were cold. Not so many ducks at the marsh but we saw many many ducks in the other lakes and ponds.
The Narrows has changed dramatically. You too can purchase a lot for your cottage. Just two hours north of Winnipeg. Beautiful spot, soon to be major league developed.
It was a splendid day. Something new every moment. Just up my alley.
