Canada Questions

I spent the winter of 2005/06 from Sept to April in the valley and it was expensive relative to home in MB.
Good place to take a winter vacation though.

I was living in a small camper trailer and on Oct 1, the official end of tourist season, I moved into a motel on the lake in Penticton.
When the tourists clear out the room rates drop to a third of the summer rate.
Was paying $640.00 a month for a suite with a big bedroom, fully equipped kitchen, living room, free cable, free internet, a swimming pool and a nearly empty city to ride my bike around.
Groceries and gas were pricey, real estate prices were crazy.

 

I've considered moving to MB. I have some family that live outside of Winnipeg. Actually quite enjoy the Whiteshell/Falcon Lake area.

 

The Whiteshell is actually a very cool place, geographically, right on the edge of the flat land to hills transition as you head east, or west I suppose.

If you enjoy beaches, it's hard to beat Manitoba.
Grand Beach used to be one of Playboy's top ten beaches in the world.

 

First time out to Whiteshell I literally missed the 50th anniversary of the Falcon Lake Incident by 6 days. As a bit of a paranormal/UFO buff I was a little disappointed.

 

Me to.
I was right into the Falcon Lake encounter, still am, and actually saw Charlie Redstar back in the mid 70's, watched it maneuver for a couple minutes before it took off, very smooth, very fast, very cool.

Was scared to death at the time, so was the guy from ON I was running with, but it's pretty cool now, except the only person who believes me is my best friend. lol

 

Sadly you're probably over-qualified for Canada. We like idiots that shouldn't handle a pedal bike driving our trucks.......

 

oilfield is still $100k+ for 20/10

if you cant live on that, something wrong
