I moved from Winnipeg in 1979, but have made the drive back twice - and will do so again this summer, pandemic restrictions permitting. When I came to the end of your story, I was reminded of the two summers I was involved with the archaeological dig of Pine Fort in 1972 and 1973. Hugh Mackie led the Archaeological Club at Glenlawn - a motley collection of students of whom I was one. Thank you for this beautiful tour of an amazing part of Manitoba!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07426434650529179462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1221524417192252274.post-79468282569797843372021-07-20T10:27:03.451-04:002021-07-20T10:27:03.451-04:00Thank you for your observations, your insights, a...Thank you for your observations, your insights, and for your words. So few take the time to offer their pictures and their experiences. I especially appreciated the words about how drought is hurting small animals and even insects!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18348480542831576404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1221524417192252274.post-17787914555015706732021-07-18T22:47:59.364-04:002021-07-18T22:47:59.364-04:00Great post.

Always great to consider early travellers and settlers on my own smaller trips on the TCT, knowing that fresh cold water and belly filling food is always just a short walk (relatively) away and that I have a portable map that will show me abundant choices. A life saving trading post is all people might have had, on any given day at one time. I'm glad you shared with the squirrels. They share the land with us. Only right that when we have plenty we share with them, in appropriate situations.Eddy Hardyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01555876085298679865noreply@blogger.com
