Day 3 - Thursday, July 2/2009
Starting Location: Kakabeka Falls, ON
Ending Location: Portage Le Prairie, MB
Left Kakabeka Falls a bit late (10:30 a.m. and went for breakfast in town. Left for Portage La Prairie, Manitoba. Not much picture taking as we had to cover a lot of ground and we had that late start. Saw the sign indicating that the watershed now heads towards Hudson's Bay instead of south, saw a moose aalong the highway and a few deer. Kenora area looks the most beautiful area covered, but we did not stay long enough to take advantage of it's beauty. A lot of nice rivers and beautiful landscapes. Took photo at Ontario/Manitoba border and then on to Winnipeg. Landscape all of a sudden is very flat. Put the cruise control on and let the bike go in a straight line on it's own. Great for covering a lot of terrirtory quickly. Got to Miller's campsite outside of Portage La Prairie at about 9:45p.m. Nice place that is inexpensive to camp in, has all the emenities, but small airplaces take off from an airport that seems to be next door.
Was cool for half the ride, staying at about 13 degrees, but once in Dreyden, the temperature really warmed up to about 24 degrees. Off to Regina and Moosejaw.
