WINNIPEG to KENORA - JUNE 6, 2013

2:15 pm departure from Northgate RV Park to Anicinabe RV in Kenora, Ontario 135 miles. It's sunny and 70 degrees!

Linda and Randy are staying at his sister Lorraine's tonight and driving the Firebird to their friends Bob and Jill Kalika's on Clearwater Bay, Ontario tomorrow. Plans are to meet in Kenors for dinner on Saturday.

2:41 pm on Trans-Canada Highway (#1) we crossed the longitudinal center of Canada ! Interesting tidbit on this region ... an ancient glacial lake once covered this area ... Lake Agassiz. Agassiz's demise 6,000 years ago is thought to have caused "the great flood" as written in Genesis. Melting glacial ice eventually broke the ice dam and this water burst into Hudson Bay.

Arrived 5:00 pm and got a woodsy site where we saw a hare and two whitetail deer. Mark is cooking a large batch of homemade soup ... hope the bears don't smell it !!!

Sue and Wayne arrived at their cottage about 4:30 and have begun setting up for summer. Mark will help Wayne with setup tomorrow while I catch up with chores.
