Day 16 Alaska Trip - Manitoba

We had a lazy morning at the camper waiting for two loads of laundry to wash and dry which cost $11.00.

In the afternoon we drove to the ROYAL AVIATION MUSEUM OF WESTERN CANADA where we learned about the people and planes of western Canada’s aviation’s history.

Signs of the Times

These children were forced to attend school away from their parents.  Can you imagine what their life was like? 

It was a very interesting visit to not only see the various aircraft, but to read all the signs that told about the history of such a rural population.

Fort Wythe Alive

Our next stop was at Fort Wythe Alive.  It is a HUGE nature area with walking trails, bison and lakes.  We walked the trail to the bison trail and back, but the entire area is flat and not the most interesting for hiking.
