Happy Birthday Erinn today!!!
Rolling along the Yellowhead hwy.towards Winnipeg.
We spent 2 days in Neepawa, the town where Susie West was born in 1911.
her father was in the army pre and post the world wars and we hoped to find some archives of the family there.We searched through the museum, very comprehensive, VERY musty, and very interesting but no evidence of the Thorne family. We met the local genealogist and he will look further into the information we gave him.
 Neepawa in a pre 1900 town with beautiful well preserved old stone and brick homes and small post war houses all along wide treed streets. We were able to ride our bikes everywhere and didn't need to unhook the car.
NO Telus service in Neepawa so there was a pretty little  library where we used WIFI
