Winnipeg to Brandon to Moose Jaw to Swift Current

Sep 22 – Winnipeg to Brandon A beautiful 8 degree morning to get up in Winnipeg with dew covering the tent but just enough sun to dry everything out while we had a shower and had our yogurt and cereal. We started the day by visiting the Royal Canadian Mint where, years and years and […]

Marathon to Winterpeg

Woke up at Sean’s & Micheline’s place in Marathon and went for a quick jaunt on Pebble beach where Lake Superior was hell-bent on showing us that the Ocean had nothing on her — with waves as big as any we’d seen on the Pacific.  Chris is now on the Marathon “most-wanted” list as she […]

Chris graciously […]

Only two weeks and three days late, we’re finally off on our cross-country trip! The Prius is packed to the gills with probably way more stuff than we need.. we’ve got a tent, a small table, two camp chairs, an awning, sleeping bags, thermarests, a small stove, cameras, (a drone!!), a cooler, warm clothes, cold […]

Departure minus one (or two?)

We’re getting very close! Only two weeks behind but we’re hoping to get on-the-road finally tomorrow.
