Got off to another great start today after 2 days rest. Ritchie and Caroline were looking strong as they pulled into the first checkpoint.
We have a new enemy! These large Deer/Horse flies! They were surrounding the RV as we waited for the Dynamic Duo at a checkpoint, constantly whacking into the windows. Fortunately, they don't seem to want to attack us when we're outside. Maybe they're attracted to the colour of the RV?????
After 1000's of km of four lane highway, we have been reduced to 2 lanes and oncoming traffic.😠 No so good for our riders either as the truck drivers can't always move over for them.
We got to our destination, West Hawk Lake Provincial Park and one dear watched another deer.
We walked down to the water. The lake was formed by a meteorite and is 320 feet deep, the deepest lake in Manitoba and the Park is a training site for emergency divers from the Provinces of Manitoba and Saskatchewan.
It looks like our deer got here before us.
It started to rain, but that didn't stop our riders from walking into town for some beverages!
Tomorrow we enter our final Province.
