Day 5 and Brandon bound

Welcome to the end of our first leg. We arrived safely in Brandon (Manitoba's OTHER city) and have a couple of days of family, relaxing and trying to do a better job of fixing Pete's Connie. For those interested, we have a little trivia quiz. The first one with a correct answer wins.

1) What geographical location are we in now? (Hint, look at the pictures)


Okay, I know that is probably a tough one, so I will give you another hint.....It rhymes with "THE MARY'S". Anyone? No?

Actually as we were making our way across southern Manitoba on highway 23, we came upon the town of St Leon, and this awesome sight...

we counted over 50 of these wind generators. A lot like the wind farm outside Shelburne, Ontario. As a committed eco-energy buff, I was very very impressed. Good for you St Leon, and Manitoba.

Someone noted our technical glitch with the camera yesterday. For those who don't know me, I will explain. Whenever Linda forgets to recharge batteries, that gets noted. When I forget to recharge batteries, it is a "technical glitch". Same goes for resetting odometers, forgetting sunglasses at the last rest stop and so on.

As I said at the top of this installment, we have a couple of days here in Brandon so I don't know how much will end up here, but be sure to check back next week as we head out to Slave Lake, Alberta and leg two. As always, thanks for all the comments and e-mails.
