Road trip

Whew! Two days of driving 7am to 6pm, and we were not even out of Ontario yet! It took from Monday morning until Thursday noon to get to Daughter #3 (D3). The scenery was stunning (if wet) in Northern Ontario. The lowest gas price in Thunder Bay was 143.3.
We saw only one moose and had a close encounter with a deer just over the Manitoba border. Thankfully, both deer and truck survived with no damage.
Gas prices dropped in Manitoba to 124.9, although our gas mileage got worse because of the high winds. The land flattened out before Saskatchewan and it seemed we could see for miles!
D3 was happy to see us and threw a party in our favour. One chap had lived in the Yukon and it was great to get information and input from him on the next step of our journey. We will be camping in Northern Saskatchewan with D3 and spouse this weekend, so we will probably not have any WiFi until we get back. And, of course, it's starting to rain.
