CROSSING INTO CANADA VIA MANITOBA

Today, May4, we crossed into Canada after spending the night at the Twin Oaks Resort (your basic motel otherwise) by Lake Metigoshe. Had to scrap plans to go to Williston as planned after Mother Nature dropped18" of snow followed by some serious flooding including 1100 down power lines. Yesterday, we visited the International Peace Garden which straddles the US and Canada followed by a "local" dinner at the Twin Oaks Bar & Grill. Nothing like a fresh fillet of walleye and a nice chicken salad (according to Daria) washed with draft Amber Bock.

The crossing was very pleasant as we had expected the agents to confiscate over the limit wine, rum and beer. Finally got onto the Trans Canada Highway heading to Regina and again had to deal with nasty high winds (50mph) which prompted our trusted RV to go into ESP mode (electronic stability program). So again we had to "deep-six" our planned stop in a provincial park (the area is experiencing the worst floods in years) and settle for a typical (not scenic) RV park managed by very friendly people. Anyway, after a bottle of wine and a nice salmon and pasta dinner we are ready to curl up in our bunk and get ready for another adventure tomorrow.

Hopefully we'll have some pictures tomorrow!!
