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???

We tested the Inflatable canoe, Very Good Boat!
Stayed dry and not that slow!, very comfortable. It's a Sevylor Colorado.
Paddled around the entire little lake. not much other than a pair of loons and some birds.
Lots of Waterbugs.

Miranda found road access to the private swimming hole we found last night.
So we moved the rv to 5' from the water!. perfect private lake. we may need to stay here a while
Windy night... Scary Low Frequency Sounds while we were sleeping, finally figured it was the webbing on the roof.

Spent 3 hours in Canadian Customs!!!
After 4 agents searched our Entire Camper for half an hour, They head agent told us to turn around!!!
I Tried to find ways around, and "lightly" argued (didnt want a cavity search) and gave a fat lip for 20 minutes.
She eventually changed her mind... They were worried since we had winter clothes, etc..
and all of our gear, she said she believed we weren't going to LEAVE!!!
After about 3 hours, we sped off with our "permit", which says we have to be out by the end of august.
FOund a great spot right off hwy 71. went searcing for a lake to swim in,
ended up biking 15 or so miles until we found a great little spot down an
abandoned road. little chairs and a private little lake.

We saw this in International Falls.. Apparently it's how they dump the grain out of the trucks?!?
