Sunday was showery, typical weekend weather, not that it makes much difference to us what day of the week it is, but we were able to enjoy the Nascar race and French Open men's tennis finals.
Monday we headed out to Whitefish lake to use our inflatable boat. The road turned out to be muddy and a bit greasy. It started to rain again, so we decided to turn around and go back to the trailer. No fun being on a lake in the rain.
Tuesday we moved to Clearwater Lake Provincial Park.
Luckily we got a site that allowed us to get a satellite signal to watch the first game of the Stanley Cup finals on Wednesday night.
Wednesday we did a short walk to the caves. It was a intersting area, In another 500,000 years it may rival the grand canyon.
Thursday morning we left Clearwater, planning on staying in Baker's Narrows. However due to mechanical problems we went into Flin Flon. After checking with three garages we found one that was willing to look at our landing gear problem. Joe, the owner, able to squeeze us in, taking apart the gear to see what parts would be needed to fix the problem. We expected to camp in his yard while waiting for parts to arrive. He took everything apart and determined that our problem was a pin that had moved and was not allowing retracting the landing gear. In a couple of hours he had the problem fixed. What a relief. Joe worked a overtime to help us with this problem. He then charged us a reduced rate because he called it a learning experience for him. So if anyone is ever in Flin Flon and need any vehicle repairs, tires or anything go to Taylor Automotives. He really went out of his way to help us. We then carried on to Bayside resort, to get a great campsite looking out over Amisk Lake.
