| Big sky country in Manitoba (MB) |
After a cool night it warmed up today. Passing clouds were welcome to reduce the heat. It only got up to about 24C, but felt warmer with the humidity.
In spite of the look of some of the clouds we got no rain on us today. From the look of some of the fields it has rained a fair bit in the area recently though:
We got a nice surprise when we stopped for fuel at a Petro Canada station just east of Winnipeg:
When we got west of Winnipeg the prices shown were quite a bit higher, like $2.09.9 to $2.19.9. Because our Petro account is linked with our RBC credit card we get 3 cents off the posted price too.
You know it's a straight drive when the next turn for the route your GPS is on is 104 km down the road:
We wanted to stop early again today, as usual, but not too early. We ended up finding a Lions Club campground in Virden MB and were parked about 4:30 pm:
It was a bonus to be able to park in some shade today. The camp is a kilometre or more from the highway, so no traffic noise. However a nearby train had to blow its own horn for a while as it left the depot. Hope that doesn't happen tonight.
