2 dogs, one husband, one 12 year old, one Dodge truck with camper, tent, suitcases and Steep Rock campsite. We were delighted to finally manage to get one of the campsites facing the beach one weekend a few years back. We set up camp, hauled the fire wood to the pit, organized things for return [...]

Manitoba – the province of 100,000 lakes. If you travel north on Highway 59 for about an hour, you arrive at Cottage Country on the east side of Lake Winnipeg. Next stop Patricia Beach Provincial Park, Beaconia, Grand Marais and Grand Beach Provincial Park, Lester Beach, Belair, Hillside Beach, Victoria Beach, Albert Beach and Traverse [...]

I love the prairie because there is an energy that comes from the land. A drive only a few hours from Winnipeg offers a traveler a small sampling of this vast beauty.
