Willmett Place

Early morning at Regina, Saskatchewan and back at the RCMP Museum to see Carmen Harry, the curator. She is delighted that I have found a photograph of Constable Willmett. The day before we asked where Willmett Place was but nobody on site knew. After a night to think about it they have located it as a circle in the cemetery - we have to be escorted to the site for security reasons and I quickly take some photographs as it starts to rain.
Listening to Tracy Byrd "Ten rounds with Jose Cuervo" on the radio - we head for Manitoba and camp eight miles short of Winnipeg. This is serious mosquito country down by a river so we retreat into the tent. We fall asleep to the sounds of an Indian powwow with drums and exotic cries drifting across the river. Up early next morning breakfasting at the campsite cafe, where the good ol' boys can't stop talking about the smart as gas prices hit $1 a litre - still about half UK prices.
