Well we are in Indian Head Saskatchewan tonight and these views below typify some of the local sights. This one is from about 20 minutes ago shot west from our KOA site.

But this guy sybolizes the town's name pretty well.

Indian Head is about 30 miles east of Regina and tomorrow we will head that direction and then Moose Jaw to see Ed and Rita Beth; good friends for many years. Actually the Qu'Appelle valley just to the north of Indian Head is a really beautiful river and lake valley ... but the weather was very stormy and dark so I couldn't get very good pics. The elms are just beginning to change color and I wish I had a sunny day for this, eh. A strange resemblance to Loch Ness ...


But getting here ... let's go back a bit. After Kenora, we headed for Selkirk and landed in Bird’s Hill Provincial Park which is between Winnipeg and Selkirk. This park is awesome; many square miles of bur oak and aspen, all with miles of fine hardtop roads, lakes, restaurants, and much more. The parking places were all arranged with four RV spots per cul-de-sac and was very private. We had a super fire which turned to coals and the marshmallows were perfect!

The park was about 20 kilometers from Bill and Bev Purvis’ place. Bill is Jo-Anne’s Uncle on her mom's side and his father was the well known boat builder in Selkirk. The Purvis place is a beautiful piece of property on the Red River just to the northeast of Selkirk.

Here is the Purvis Navigation museum on the Selkirk waterfront with the Red River where the family boats are now displayed. These boats were used for many years for both the cargo and passenger trade for the entire expanse of Lake Winnipeg. Jo-Anne and her mother traveled in a cabin around the lake in the largest boat in the center of this picture, the Keenora, when Jo-Anne was about five.

And in case you have any dirty fish around .... ya know how those carp are ...
