May 1 & 2, 2010

Today I'm staying at the WelcomeStop Campgrounds at the Junctions of Pth 1 and PTH 26 across from the white horse, in Manitoba this is the only local campground that I could find that was open before the May long weekend.

After the first night, I switched sites away from the noise of the vehicle traffic travelling the Trans Canada Highway PTH 1 to a much quieter site down by the river.

We finally got a break in the rain and the sun peaked its way out from behind a cloud. So I thought I'd better take advantage in the change of weather to make some supper.

The clouds are starting to move in again. We are suppose to get more rain
