Heading for home a day earlier than expected

 

We turned right.

 

We decided to leave our lovely site this morning. It was a shame, but in the afternoon a large trailer pulled in next to us and started disgorging several adults and a few lively young children. 

It was noisy enough already, but looked like things were shaping up for a family reunion Saturday night, so we decided to move along.

Today we moved from Cyprus Hills to a Walmart in Brandon MB, just about the reverse of our drive out over the same roads. A long day, about 11 hours on the road, but we're positioned and ready to head home now.

I'm not adding a map tonight, as we are just trundling across the Trans Canada Highway #1. We've done and documented this trip a number of times before, so won't be blogging again until we get home, unless something exciting happens.

Its funny to think we made a reservation at a Walmart! We didn't really, just called ahead to see if we could stay overnight. We would have done this anyway, as we wouldn't want to get turned away at the end of a long day, but we saw on CBC news that the store had a major fire on June 7 which destroyed their front entrance and required major stock cleaning before the store could reopen. They still let us stay. 

Here's what their front entrance looks like tonight:

The two young arsonists have been found and charged with lighting the fire.

Ttyl, Gord.
