  • The Dead Sea of Canada 加拿大版的死海

    30. elokuuta 2023, Kanada ⋅ 🌬 29 °C

    Visited this mineral rich Manitou Lake and the resort with heated pool filled with running natural lake water. It is claimed the water has certain healing effects for skin and joints. We relaxed in the heated pool for a couple of hours.
    “The lake was carved out by glaciers and is fed by springs that release magnesium, potassium, silica, iron oxide, calcium and sulphate, giving it the highest mineral content of any lake on Turtle Island (North America).” (copied from saskmining.ca)

    31. elok.–1. syysk. 2023, Kanada ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

    Dryden is located between Winnipeg and Thunder Bay, with population of approximately seven thousand.

    Before continuing driving east, we visited the Sandy Beach Park, visitor's centre/gift shop (cloased yesterday when we arrived), Dryden & District Museum, and the Mosaic Sculpture "Pieces of Dryden"(the pieces were collected from the residents of Dryden and the surrounding area... dishes, pottery, mirrors, china, tiles, etc.), also Max the Moose 🫎 and the Eagle 🦅 again, that all made this small town unique and special 💐

  • Back to EST Zone 回到东部时区

    1. syyskuuta 2023, Kanada ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C

    Driving westbound along highway 17 from Ontario into Manitoba, time zone change happens around roadway marker 440 between Dryden and Thunder Bay instead of the border.
    Yesterday we were back to Ontario so we adjusted clocks before entering Kenora. Just that we saw parking meter was still one hour behind, a bit puzzled, we asked a local driver then realized that the time zone change is not by province borderline. So by now all three hours we gained by travelling to the west have been adjusted.
    GPS coordinate (48.902459,-90.027775)
    沿17号公路行驶向西从安大略进入曼尼托吧省,时区变更发生在德莱顿和雷湾之间440公里里程标附近,而不是在省界那里。
    昨天我们回到安大略省,所以我们在进入凯诺拉之前调整了时钟。 然而我们看到停车计时器仍然落后一个小时,问了一位当地司机才意识到时区的变化不是按省边界。到达这个时区变更标志牌之后,因向西行驶而增加的三个小时全部调整回来了。
