Day 64 Souris to Holland

Pictures Itinerary JDRF donor site

We had a good breakfast at the hotel and found out we could Blog so spent an hour catching up. All was not lost last night as we went into the Legion and had a beer with Candy a delightful lady who kept us entertained till bedtime..... But that was yesterday.

Today we were late on the road, but the wind was good and we climbed the first hill of the day out of town in fine style, albeit was only about 1%. It was "sweater on" cool as we passed

through mainly arable farmland with lots of trees, (didn't know we would miss them so much).

We saw our compliment of hawks and other unidentified raptors, and a little stoat, or weasel perhaps.

It was a landscape of changing colors, and very large trucks loaded with mostly oilfield equipment. There is a new pipeline being laidbut in general the drivers took the time to see we were safe.

We shared 10km of first class new roadway and hard shoulder with these behemothsand it just shows that Mr Doer can make things happen, if he wants.

We got to our appointed destination so early and the wind was sooooo favorable that we decided to do the extra 20 miles to Holland and take a motel as there was heavy rain clouds collecting and dropping the occasional spot on us.

So that's how we got to the Hollander Hotel.

We have excellent directions from Len, Bob, Ken and Neil for the route into Winnipeg on Friday.

We feel really special, with all the effort they have taken.

So on my second beer, I think that is all the news that's fit to blog.
