I used my GPS to direct me past Winnipeg and get me to my destination. In the past I have questioned some of the directions the GPS had given me and realized later that it was I who was confused and the GPS was right. So, this time I decided to what the GPS said, and ignore my instincts even when it told me to not take the Winnipeg by-pass ring road. However, by the time I realized I was right at Portage and Main in downtown Winnipeg, I was convinced something was wrong and my instincts had been right. By then it was pointless to do anything but continue to do what I was told, and eventually I was out of the city and on my way to Riding Mountain. I figured out later that I had changed the GPS to select the shortest route rather than the quickest route – hence the direct line through the city. That’s now fixed.
Today was the first decent day of my trip. When I arrived I found that I had my pick of campsites and chose a nice one, got set up had a beer and started some overdue relaxation.
I also had time to make the first half decent camp meal that I’ve made in a while.There is a small town in the park (vaguely like a Banf or Jasper, only smaller) and walking trails nearby – all within walking distance. The town has a bakery and internet, among other things. Maybe I'll get to read some email and update the blog,
