Dryden, ON – West Hawk Lake, MB‎
3,038 km
Short ride today — just enough to get across the border.
‎
Great roads for a bike: smooth with lots of turns.
‎
Stopped briefly for a stretch and a sandwich at the commemorative plaque near where the final spike was nailed into the tracks of the railway that would join East and West Canada.
‎
The last spike

The last spike

Smokey haze as I approached the MB border–being carried over from a forest fire in Northern Saskatchewan.
Manitoba at last!

Manitoba at last!

Note the brownish haze -- that's smoke from a forest fire in Northern Saskatchewan
