Thus continued the day of mortal embarrassment to the Rustic Canadiana in Winnipeg. After needing gas put in her carburettor to start in the morning, as we were leaving Winnipeg, she blew onne of her tires. We were towed 62km to Falcon Beach, she must have been thoroughly ashamed to be pulled backwards, but we made great gas mileage! However, the tow truck nearly had to get towed itself for it was leaking oil like crazy. Rustic Canadiana was covered in oil to top off her horrible day. After we had our spare tire put on, we camped in Sandy Beach campsite. Afterwards we changed campsites because the one across the troad was much nicer, however we had to wait in line to get in due to May long weekend rush. Afterwards we purchased tires from an auto wrecker in Kenora, Ontario. We were told to come in to Kal Tire to have the new tires put on between 1:00 and 3:00 o'clock the following day, which happened to be Saturday. The person on the phone told us that he wold be open until 5:oo o'clock. However, when we arrivd at 2:00 o'clock, Kal Tire was closed. We were told that it closes at noon on Saturdays. But we had paid for the tires, so we had somebody come down and gives us the tires. We couldn't stay in Kenora for long, so we took the tires with us and had them put on in Thunder Bay.
