We are in The Pas, Manitoba today having paddled 40 hours over he past 4 days with two back to back 12 hour days. The last day was from Cumberland House, SK to The Pas, Man. 120 km of
long winding Sask River. We have endured snow at the start at Rocky Mountain House, strong tails winds, extremely strong head winds and yesterday, our first thunder storm. It has been very cold and then at times almost too warm. We are happy to see the last of this river as it has become tedious and muddier as it moves east.
Hospitality along the way and our reception has been outstanding. We have been hosted by First Nations peoples, Ukranian people, Hutterite peoples and every thing and everyone in between. Perhpas we have had a bit too much stew and bannock!
