Sept 5th:Day 17

Great sleep. Since we cut our stay at the yurt short we needed to take more time getting to Regina where we were staying with Lorraine's aunt Mabel, so we aimed for Portage La Prarrie, Manitoba.
Despite  our best efforts we were forced to go into Winnipeg. 

The ipad quit  and we needed an Apple store. The  genius at the store pushed 2 buttons simultaneously for 8 seconds and fixed it.  I know you're reading this Steve Jobs so have someone look into it.
 We stopped for a hike in Spruce Grove provincial park.
It's rolling prairie with groves of little aspen trees, spruce and dwarfy oak trees. 


Lorraine is standing beside a mature oak tree.


They produce these furry little acorns.
 
The spruces die and decay into the grass.
It was a subtle and beautiful landscape.
Stayed in another Super 8.
