(dictated while driving)
So I noticed that when I followed the railway on the first day I found towns like Ninga and I think it makes sense that the oldest towns with the most interesting buildings are going to be along railways. So I'm planning my route today taking that into consideration.
I was considering a trip up to the lakelands but I think instead I'm going to head for the South Eastern side of the province where I haven't spent much time.
So I'm leaving Westbourne on the 16 to the number 1, down number 1 past portage la prairie (sorry portage, you have some beautiful things to see I'll be back), around Winnipeg and then I'm going to follow the CNR, ducking south ay about Lorette.
Right now I'm behind a Semi trying to get decent gas mileage on this uninteresting strip of the trip. I seem to be pulling down numbers in the five and 6 L per hundred km an hour range at about 110 kph, so that's pretty good. We'll see how it actually works out. My average has been 8.0 L per hundred kilometers over the entire trip and I'm hoping to drop that even at this speed.
