| Monday - July 11 The predicted SSE winds has shown up. It will be a headwind or a crosswind depending on which part of the highway we are on. |
 |
| Winnipeg is in sight now. One of our semi-truck friends gave us an encouraging toot-toot as he went by. We have had at least one toot a day as we've crossed the province. |
 |
| The skies did clear as we approached the border with Manitoba but that also made the wind pick up more. |
 |
| Goodby Saskatchewan....it's been a wonderful visiting you and your wonderful citizens. |
 |
| Did we say it was windy yet? |
 |
| Hello Manitoba and goodby to 1 hour of the day since we just crossed into the Central Time Zone too. |
 |
| Manitoba Welcome Visitor Centre. It was a nice break from the wind. Oh...did we already say it was windy? |
 |
| We were eating our sandwiches at the gas station in Elkhorn when 2 white pickups pulled in to fill up.....at least we are pretty sure they were white. Accuweather says the wind is blowing at 14 mph. |
 |
| Donna's shirt is making a good wind vane. The crosswind was not much easier than when it was more of a headwind, especially when it gusted. |
 |
| This was the most permanent looking building in Hargrave. |
 |
| Hurray...we've reached the town sign. That means we only have a mile or 2 to go. Not sure why they put the signs so far from town. |
 |
| Those 40 windy miles certainly needed to be topped off by ice cream. |
 |
| After checking in, we went in search of the museum. |
 |
| This is it. |
 |
| Susan, museum manager, dropped in at the end of our visit. She was very enthusiastic about answering our questions about this part of Manitoba. It was a nice way to finish off the day. |
