AM, Macdowall to the
Muskaday Esso
The way the bird flies.... not exactly we did
not want to ride across any fields that still
had crop in them. This was a bad year for
farmers with respect to getting the crops off in
time. Harvesting occurred in late August thru
most of September and hardly a single day in
October. Harvesting resumed in November for many
and if you could start your diesel combine in
December you could go out drive on the small
sloughs and water bodies and combine up the crop
that was not consumed by the rising water.:

VF day 1 PM
Friday PM, Muskaday, to
Choiceland.
Macdowall to the Muskaday Reserve to gas up
(Late in the day 1PM-we had our issues!). I see
my odometer was reading 37 miles at Muskaday
when we stopped for fuel. Then zigzagged stubble and crossed the
North Branch @ Cecil Ferry. We zigzagged really
good stubble fields NE to find the pioneer river
crossing on the Whitefox. I was watching the
countryside for the location of an old
"cemetery" as indicated on Provincial
topographical maps of the area. This will prove to be
interesting, looking at our mileage My odometer read 118 miles (KM) as we rolled in to Choiceland.
At the Choiceland Curling rink, we enjoyed
a number of ends of curling, maybe not as many
as other years, some of our skips were played
out by the extra miles of cross country field
riding...not riding thru the relaxing trail
across the middle of Fort a la Corne seemed to
have some effect! Mind you we did curl to
10:30-11 O'clock!

Saturday,
Choiceland to Fort a la Corne Forest.
We won't be watching the grass grow! The sun is
shining brightly, but there is a line of heavy
black clouds on the horizon across the sky...we
are going to make tracks, new tracks while the
sun is shining and visibility is optimum.
We can
ride back on our existing tracks safely if it
clouds over or gets stormy. We are
headed for the Whitefox River bordering the Fort
a la Corne Forest.
