After spending the night in Moose Jaw, we drove to Falcon Lake, Manitoba by way of Regina, Fort Qu’Appelle, Brandon and Winnipeg.
My dad used to say that the Qu’Appelle Valley was one of the prettiest places on earth and I agree. Driving along the mostly flat plains covered by grain fields and combines hard at work we drove over a small rise and down into a lush valley along the river.
Brandon is home to one of the finest bakeries I have had the pleasure of visiting. We shared a chocolate and strawberry croissant and a pair of pains aux chocolates that Mary said kept her awake all night. Exquisite!
Drove as fast as we could around Winnipeg and spent our first camping night at Falcon Lake
