Aint no Fairies in the Prairies...We be gnomes!

"We were awakened on day 2 by a gigantic and loud train that thundered by out tent. We stepped outside to find the air warm and dry unlike our previous morning where everything was soaked. We hit the road with great ease (due to the packing spell that Leonard taught me yesterday), and before we knew it we had entered in to a whole new magical land: Manitoba!"


"To celebrate this milestone, Leonard said, "OK my turn to drive!" I hesitantly agreed and let him take to wheel but still was too nervous to let go of it myself as he had been chuggin' beers all morning."


"We noticed that we were about to pass the last lake before venturing into the sinister land of the prairies, so we stopped at Falcon Lake, where we discovered a charming beach."


"Naturally, once we got on the beach, Zactus felt the urge to play a little known traditional Wizard game, Whack-A-Ball. Whacker up!"


"While relaxing and snacking on the beach, Leonard noticed our exceptionally jolly moods and demanded that he take a picture of us together.  Awww, it even brought a tiny tear to this tough and stoic gnome's eye."


"It was all downhill from Eastern Manitoba, and soon enough, we were in the legendary prairies, where Leonard felt the need to present it to us in the normal way, by pointing at it with his tiny little muscular arm."


"Well, if anyone reading this has done this drive before, you know that everything looks pretty much the same until you hit Saskatchewan...then its more of the exact same thing."


About mid-way through Saskatchewan, we finally stopped at the Indian Head RV and Campground.  Some mysterious force beckoned us to stay in a tiny solitary cabin instead of our tent.  Upon entering, we discovered why we were drawn to this place. "Eeeeeek!" screeched an ugly little creature that was perched up above the door of our cabin.  Upon further inspection, Leonard reported that this creature was The Great Canadian BatBeaver, a rare animal and distant relative of the gnome!"


"Leonard and the BatBeaver soon became friends, and he convinced him to join us on our quest as well!"


What a magical sight of our lovely cabin underneath the moon light.
