Yecch! Low cloud, 100% humidity and threatening rain. So far the `Friendly` in `Friendly Manitoba`hasn`t applied to the weather.
We took off, heading south, towards Riding Mountain National Park. Actually, not a bad ride, with decent shoulders in the park and not a lot of wind. I took a quick side trip to the Agassiz Tower for a look at the countryside - a nice view of the top of a deciduous tree canopy, but not much else.
And then the rain hit - a serious downpour, one of those soak you to the skin types. Laura and I ducked under the trees along the road, but we still got wet.
We made it into Wasagaming, also known as Clear Lake. This is the `Jasper of Riding Mountain Park.` A real touristy place that would have been pleasant on a nice day. We stopped for lunch, a quick snack and then just down the road to Onanole.
Gerry, Ashley and Leddy were sharing a condo, so we decided to cook dinner there. We bourght a couple of BBQ chickens, Greek salad fixings, baked spuds and Pecan buns for dessert. Turned out to be a great meal, which we ate while our gear dried out.
No points from Tourism Manitoba for this photo, but you can see why I thought we were in BC
