We boarded the train in Curchill on Thursday night at 10:30 for our rebound trip back to Thompson. This time we had a sleeper compartment with bunk beds. We slept much better than on the previous trip up. We awoke Friday morning to see our first snow of the trip on the ground. Time during the day was past with several of us acting out a murder mystery plot and with the others having to figure out who the murderer was. The photo is Bernie as a German Braumister. We arrived back in Thompson at 8:00 PM to a wet, cold and muddy campground. Saturday morning we struck out for Grand Rapids which is half way to Winnipeq down the west side of Manitoba and is not much more than a fuel stop. We dry camped in a "pull off area" and had a "woody woopee" dinner (our term for a pot luck dinner). Look at a map of the Province of Manitoba. We were driving beside Lake Winniipeq all the way down.
