I had the luxury of a couple of hours at the Mennonite archives in Winnipeg. I was happy to find a copy of the 1888 census of the West Reserve where my great grandparents first came to Canada and settled in Manitoba. It was a real treat to have time in the archives and I could have easily stayed a lot longer. But I came away with some lovely treasures to read and enjoy.
After that we turned the RV east to Kenora and a little further south to Rushing River provincial campground. The landscape changed to the Canadian Shield with massive rocks taking up large portions of the campsites which were very cleverly arranged around the rocks.
