Well its 6:30 am here in Regina, it cold and clear. I look out the window of my room and what do I see, Frost on the cars! After a shower and getting organized I again look out and see that the frost is melting away. After I check out It's off to Sevie...need my regular, and I have to clean the windshield. As I turn east onto Hwy 1 the morning traffic is starting to get heavier. I look in the rear view mirror and watch Regina fade of into the distance. I love the cool clear mornings on the prairies, it reminds me of where I come from ( that is a song I think). I a
m looking forward to Winnipeg and the challenges that are forthcoming in the next few weeks. The further East I go the more I pass thru some of the flattest land that I can ever remember seeing. I am approaching Brandon, and as I do I realize that this is the wheat capital of Canada. It's also the home town of hockey's "Great One" Wayne Gretzky.. The one thing that I notice is the lack of snow out here. I stop in Verdin MB for coffee and a sangi, I am not sure if it is an "diner, drive in or dive"...lol. The coffee was hot and the food good, so all is well. I head down the road towards my goal. Winnipeg. There are now trees around, more then I have seen in a while. I get closer and the traffic gets heavier. The road signs are well marked as I come into the city. I am blending into the traffic like a rain drop blends into a stream, seamlessly. I find my hotel, check in and settle in for the night. I do go out and take a look around and find the Bison yard, only a few minutes away from here...cool! The yard is huge! I have never seen that many trucks and trailers in one place before. Now I am getting excited! I head off and pick up dinner and its back to the room to watch a hockey game. Tomorrow I will do some exploring around Winnipeg. I am signing off for now, I'll see you down the road..goodnight!
