Here we are, Day 4 and finally I have a few minutes to tell
you about our adventures.
May 25 SASKATCHEWAN
I don’t have anything against Saskatchewan, but sometimes I
wish I could fold the map in such a way that we can skip over it, especially
when the objective of the day is to drive through it to get to Killarney, Manitoba.
That said, we did find a pleasant roadside picnic spot for lunch and stopped
for some delicious cinnamon buns at Caronport.
To pass the time on this long road trip, I'm attempting to take a picture every hour. It's turning into an interesting road diary. Here's one hourly photo of the many hours of flatness on the prairies.
May 26 MANITOBA
“This is the day that the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it”. That was my dad’s response when we gathered
together as a family to celebrate his 93rd birthday. What a blessing it was to be able to
arrange our travels to be there on his special day.
Unfortunately, our RV battery problem wasn’t solved and we
again we woke up rather cold! To add
insult to injury, the puppy chewed through the power chord on the battery
charger. (Dumb dog.) With frost in the
forecast we stayed in my brother and sister-in-law’s house for the second
night.

May 27 PROBLEM SOLVED
This morning we got up bright and early and made it to
Winnipeg for brunch. From there it was
to an RV repair shop. A fist full of fuses
was all it took to get everything in working order again. But it took a repair technician to find where
all those fuses were hidden. Problem
solved!
Now it feels like we’re finally on our camping trip. We enjoyed a lovely evening camping at Aaron
Provincial Park near Dryden Ontario. The weather’s beautiful
and we can finally relax and enjoy our time travelling. With that, we celebrated by having a family camping
tradition: steak, yummy rice and creamy
corn. Life is good.
