On the road at 6:30 am from our motel at Kaministiquia(try pronouncing that) and proceeded to the Upsala truck stop for a tasty breakfast. After enjoying bacon and eggs, it's back to truckin on wet but clear and smooth roads. They pour salt on the roads even when the sun is shining and the road is bare. We seen them doing it this morning. There were trucks pulled over in various spots adding washer fluid. We went trough 3 gallons in Ontario. After seeing 1765 moose signs, there they were, three moose at the side of the road. These roads are narrow so we were in close proximity to them. However, we  made good time in spite of the 90 km speed limit probably to conserve energy. we ran 12 over like everyone else and didn't suffer any consequences till a half hour into Manitoba. What a poor excuse for a highway and it's the trans Canada. It was horrible till west of Portage where it became fair. We pulled in to Brandon at 5:30 and are holed up in a Motel 6, ready to walk over to Boston Pizza for a hearty supper. Early to bed and back to work tomorrow.
