Saskatoon to Kenora

The RV parks around Saskatoon were packed and we were glad we had a reservation. We never could quite figure out why. Not that Saskatoon is a bad place but certainly not that much of tourist destination. We never did catch up with our mail even thou we stayed a few extra days hoping it would show up. It was pretty darn swampy at the RV park and we were beginning to feel like we were held hostage by all the mosquitoes. Plus, the weekend was coming and the park was booked up for Jehovah Witness convention. We were being kicked out. Better pack up fast before the JW's come a knocking with their white shirts and ties! We were glad to leave and decided to do a drive by of the rest of Saskatchewan and Manitoba.

Along the way saw fields upon fields of yellow flowers. Looked it up on Wikipedia. Turns out it was rapeseed which is used to make canola oil. It made for a pretty picture the yellow flowers against the blue sky with big puffy clouds. Took a few pictures while we were driving, here's the best one. If you surf the web turns out a lot of folks thought the same thing so there are better pictures than mine on the web. Stopped for an over nighter in Neepawa - nice little city RV park and continued on to Kenora, Ontario the next day.

Kenora turned out to be a tourist destination. Nice Rv park right on the "Lake of the Woods". Spent a pleasant night and morning there enjoying the warm weather and sun. The town looked interesting but we did not unhitch so we did not get the chance to explore the area. JLS
