Sep 6, 2009 - Winnipeg to Thunder Bay (it's a long way...)

We drove from our campsite into an area known as The Forks in Winnipeg, where the fork of the Red and Assiniboine Rivers are. ... It had lots of parking, so we looked around there, then left the motorhome and got on Winnipeg's free transit loop, and went to the old business centre of the city where the provincial museum is. ... Spent several hours there (good, but not as good as Victoria), then walked down to Portage and Main for a photo op.We drove from our campsite into an area known as The Forks in Winnipeg, where the fork of the Red and Assiniboine Rivers are. ...
