Day 31, Thurs. June 26, Carman 118.9 km

Today's winds were favourable and so it felt easier than yesterday. We stopped in at Swan Lake, 1 km off the highway, for coffee and spoke with the locals. This exchange is a fun part of the trip for us. We noticed lots of wind turbines again from Somerset through St. Leon. After about 76 km. we came to a rise and could see the Red River Valley stretched out below us. Dave 3 says that it used to be Agassiz Lake, left over from glacial days. A few kilometres of downhill and we came to Miami where we had lunch at the park. Again we saw a wonderfully groomed baseball diamond...seems to be a feature of these small prairie towns.
We arrived in Carman and easily found King's Park which has a separate shower building. You can tell what is important to us.
We are looking forward to arriving in Winnipeg tomorrow for a weekend of bike maintenance, catching up with family and friends, and perhaps doing some sight-seeing.
This quick catch-up was done by Yvonne. Wireless service has been non-existent in this area. We'll be in touch.
