We ended our day in Regina and at a Super 8 instead of a camp. Bob says "we owe it to Regina to stay in a hotel here", indicating that we left and arrived via Regina on our 2016 and 2017 bike-across-Canada trips, but didn't actually stay in Regina; Yolanda days "yippee!". Our day of driving from Kenora and the very beautiful Lake-of-the-Woods to Regina included side-stops at Pipestone & Reston to look for maternal heritage evidence for Bob.
We didn't locate headstones, but Bob was able to see a bit of the countryside where his mom's ancestors settled. We also saw a moose, a fox, a muskrat/beaver, a hare, and several en masse flocks (geese, red wing blackbirds, etc).
Near to Regina, as the sun set, there was a lot of smoke in the air due to burning fields, which Bob said were prescribed. We enjoyed a pleasant day of driving and a nice evening of discussion.
