then went for a bike ride to center of downtown Regina. On the way back we stopped at a great museum,
highest quality displays i've ever seen!

After 7 hours of driving we are now at Regina,SK. We would not normally drive so far, but it's all farmland, so nowhere to Boondock!.. Regina appears to be a nice city. We parked at a walmart and rode bikes alongside a town creek. Found internet at the first park bench we tried! how nice. We kept bicycling around the city parkland, found the city "Bird Sanctuary" and had fun looking at the Pelicans up close.

Miranda wanted to see bison, So we headed towards Lake Audy. the 12 mile drive took over 2 hours!!! SO washboarded.. afraid we were ripping the camper apart.
Once there though, we saw some bison, Maybe about 20 across a field.
found a nice capsite by lake audey. Water was really weedy and dark, so no swimming... Miranda found much wildlife, and in the morning we drove the bison view drive again, this time with her on the roof of the camper!!!
excellent views.

Songbird
American White Pelican
Red-Tailed Hawk (we saw 10+)
The Bison!

After taking a morning ride around Brandon,MB
we decided to drive up to Riding Mountians National Park. Miranda was really excited for a real shower, So we stayed at the main campground in wasagaming. Went for a LONG bike ride down hiking trails (23miles) in search of "Whirlpool Lake". Turned out to be swampy and no moving water once we finally got there!! Upon arriving home that night, went for a swim in clear lake, and Took a nice hot shower.

We slept in a Walmart parking lot tonight.. Spent the morning biking around
winnipeg, rode along the red river in town... They actually have river taxis!! and very good bike system, people biking everywhere
We are running low on our "utility" water and now have to decide whether to try to Filter some from a lake source, or stop at an RV campground and pay!! .. I suppose we could try that once.... Not any towns for a while now so It could be several days before any words.. hopefully Laura has not burned the house down... and is making progress on a roommate???
