Road to Ontario: Visit to Kenora

I'm on my own for a few days- bringing this big Lincoln over the hump, doing a few solo shows while Big Dave catches a rest at home. Running east, it is not long before the calm of the flatlands changes to the tough, splendid beauty of rocks and bush.




It's all connected to this highway here in Canada. Everybody knows somebody who knows somebody just down the line from someplace.




The highway speed drops here, and the highway patrols swarm like bees to get a little money for the Ontario government. I set the cruise control, sip a coffee, and enjoy the ride into Kenora. I've got good friends waiting to see me. We dine, and talk into the wee hours. In the morning we'll explore some deep woods on ATV's. Can't wait.

Road to Brandon, MB

Up early and off to the Thrift Store to shop. I get nothing, but Dave finds some boots that fit! Nice!

It's a beautiful fall day out on the prairie. We're blasting off for Brandon, Manitoba today. Point the car, set the cruise, let her fly...



High water across the prairie. There has been plenty of flooding over the past few years. Some of the roadbeds give you the strange feeling of driving down the middle of a lake. Birds seem to like it well enough...

Before you know it we are in Brandon, doing the drive around. After a few passes through town we check into the venue, Lady of the Lake. It's a nice, big place- almost sold out for tonight's show. Hooray!

We do sell out in the end. Here's our lucky tour jacket winner!! Yep, forgot the tour camera again, so I use the iPhone...
