We left Saskatchewan this morning around 9 am. We drove across country (didn't go back up to the TransCanada right away) from Saskatchewan to Manitoba. We were only about 70-80 km from Manitoba as it was. This sign is rather small, but then, we're not on a main highway at all.
We eventually joined the TransCanada about 40 km into Manitoba. It curved down. There wasn't much to see but beautiful open fields and big skies. But not so much picture-worthy.
We are just south of Winnipeg at Ile des Chenes. We crossed the Assiniboine River.
And the Red River.

Both these rivers meet in Winnipeg at The Forks. We also crossed an overflow for the Red River. As you know, the rivers can overflow in spring and provide pretty nasty floods at times.
So that's pretty much it for today. When we got here, we went for a walk back to the town (about a mile back). But a thunderstorm was looming. We just got finished with dinner, and sure enough, the thunder rolled in and the skies opened up. It was a pretty hot day, so this will help cool it a bit.
Tomorrow we're off to the States again (I don't think the wall has been built yet).
