A Manitoba Gem
I live and work in RMNP and have yet to explore all of the far reaches of this magical place…
This summer a friend took me to the most beautiful spot I’ve ever been to in Manitoba…and I’ve explored the province from top to bottom! It’s a hidden spot within the park known as Bald [...]
A new Experience

Driving North on Highway six is a new experience every time I travel it.
First there are the plains with the crops growing and the farmers working towards their annual reward. They gamble on the weather, the insects and a good market for their product.
Then comes the interlake with cattle ranches and trees. Once you [...]

Northern Soul Searching

This story goes out in memory of Snoops.
My adventure begins by hitching a ride on a freight train one Friday night, from Churchill down to M’Clintock, Manitoba. Mile 1588 along the track, gateway to the Deer River, here I am. And there goes the train. And as it gets further and further away, [...]
The big and small things.
Our August long weekend was supposed to be filled with lots of sun and beach time at St. Ambroise but unfortunately it was cold and rainy the entire weekend. Instead we decided to go on a “boonie binge” throughout South Central Manitoba. We wandered through Elm Creek to discover the big fire hydrant and other [...]
Who Took My Flowers?
My husband and I were lucky enough to be drawn for a seasonal site at Stephenfield Lake. I had just bought some flowers for the lake and upon my arrival the next weekend they were all sheared off except my Marigolds. I thought that it was a jealous neighbor but later found out it was [...]
So Close, and Yet So Far Away
Oh how fortunate we are! To think that we can pack up the dogs, the trailer, and head out to a beautiful provincial park within a stones throw from the City. Birds Hill Park has so much to offer – great private campsites, excelent hiking paths, cycling trails, and a handy swim area. We like [...]

Wildlife at its Best
On July 23rd of this year my husband and I along with seven friends went to Child’s Lake in the Duck Mountains for a weeks holiday. The first evening of our trip we had an unexpected visitor…a doe and her twins! They were in the shrubs right behind out camper! By the next day we [...]
Bloodvein River

I spent all summer taking boy scout groups into the Atikaki wilderness, it is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been to. It has so much character history, and life you can feel it. I also did a trip with several friends down the Bloodvein, we ran all the rapids [...]
