Tuesday July 19 2011
Left Indian Head 8:30am and 80 degrees already!  Diesel $1.22/l.  At Wapella we thought we saw a dead penquin on the side of the road, think we been on the road too long or made a really wrong turn!!!!!!  We hit 10,000 km on this trip at Fleming, Sask.  Crossed into Manitoba at 11:30am.   Going into Brandon the bags to hold back the water are still up.  One layer off but the rest still there.  Got to Doug and Darlene's about 2:30pm.  Had a nice visit with them although short as we are leaving tomorrow morning to head to Falcon Lake to see Joel before heading home.  It was so hot in Brandon 91 I think.  We all sat outside later in the evening when it was at least breathable and put our feet in their granddaughters little pool, it really helped too.  We just left the truck and trailer on the street and slept in the house, it would have been way to hot in the trailer for us.  We really appreciated the house and air conditioning, thanks Doug and Darlene!!!!!!
