We’re in The Pas, Manitoba now. We arrived a few days before our train to Churchill, so we will spend extra time exploring the area.

Several people here have asked us what the hell we are doing so far north and driving to do it. I pointed out it was to get away from the crazy bastards in our country during the GOP convention.

At an Esso station here, after having gone two days without seeing any American-registered cars, we were there with two other vehicles from Nebraska. It appears all the liberals came here. /s We had a good chat; it turns out they are here to get away from the GOP convention too.

Taken about one hundred miles south of The Pas, on Manitoba Provincial Highway 10, our car pointed northbound:

Passing the 53rd Parallel north.
