THE MIDDLE OF CANADA | Forks and Forts | Road Trip Across Canada

So tired, Evan. Then we're going to lose all our money. We are off to Ontario. We're Keith and Deb. This past year we started a YouTube channel to make the most of each day. Most recently we have converted a 2011 Dodge Caravan and have been traveling across Canada from Ontario all the way to BC and all the way back. Subscribe to follow along. Good morning. We're no longer at Walmart. We got up sort of early. Waking up early to come to the Forks in Winnipeg. Which is apparently the thing to do if you're here. The downtown market-like thing. And we saw that there's a lot of breakfast places. So we're going to go get food because I'm starving. Same. It smells so good in here. We're also like first people here. Look at that. There's only a handful of people. That's right. Evan's doing your belly dance. It's so good. Yeah, this is a classic breakfast that's made. Little piggies are tired. So tired, Evan. Waking up early. We're going to go get coffees because we're both a little tired and go for a walk to burn off this breakfast. And then bathroom baked goods and on the road. Here you go. Okay, we're still out of it. We're tired. Coffee's leaking on us. There's a wasp on our hand and on our face. It is a rough morning. It's not. It is. You just said it was. She's lying. We just realized. We lost an hour and we forgot to be like why are we so tired this morning? And it's because we got up an hour earlier than we used to. This is like a celebration of the city at the heart of the city. If you know if there's more of a meeting comment below because we have no idea what this is. But it's really beautiful. If I had to guess, when you stand in the middle at a specific time all these little loops or slash targets are looking at a star. The Forks in Treaty 1 territory and the homeland of the Métis has been a meeting place for thousands of years. Indigenous people from across the North America plains have come to this spot to trade hunt, fish, and celebrate. We're walking back onto the Esplanade Riel. It's a very beautiful bridge. This little area of Winnipeg. We haven't seen much of Winnipeg but this area is really really cute. So we gotta get back to the car and slowly hit the road because we have a 5 hour drive today. Classically. Better than 8 though, right? Because we're going to Fort Francis. So a lot of people told us to go to this museum. It's the Human Rights Museum which we would love love love to do but sadly we don't have time. But if you have time and you're in the area, please go to the museum and let us know how it is because again, more than one person has told us that this is an amazing museum. Back in the van and we have to quickly head out because someone's waiting to take our spot. We told them we're leaving. Good thing we got here early because the fort seems to be a busy place. Seems like it's the it place for tourism. It is a Saturday too. We are off to Ontario. We switched drivers. I'm going to do some... Am I going to hit it? Yeah I'm going to hit it. And do your trading too. Yeah I was going to do some buying and selling of some stock and also download some podcasts before we lose signal once we get into Ontario. We got to make do with our data right now. We waited too long. All I have is E. I have edge one bar. Hey Mr. Dramatic We lost signal and I can't download podcasts and we're going to lose all our money. That's not true at all. This song is fitting. I was going to just check our stocks. Our investments. Turns out it's Saturday. It's a Saturday too. Oh my lord. I'm a lover and I'm a sinner. You know what I look like right now? You know that haircut that Chandler has in Friends when he was in high school? I totally have that hair. Update. Devon's driving listening to a podcast still. I'm doing some editing. That is all. Banana bunnies. We're just pulling into Fort Francis. Driving through. Population of 7,700. The states is incredibly close. We're going to be the closest we've been to the states I think since we drove on Zero Ave. The states is literally right behind that yellow sign. That was cool. We made it to Jackie and Jerry's house. Haven't met them yet. They are Leslie's friends. Thank you very much for having us. Thanks for the connection too Leslie. Thank you. Been driving for the last four hours. Gets to ya. Good job out there. We're going to be in Fort Francis for the night. And then tomorrow Sunday. We're just hanging out with Jackie and Jerry. They fed us. They're amazing. They're the nicest humans. We just met them today. And they're giving us a tour of the town and that's the states. It was so cool to learn about Fort Francis from Jerry and Jackie's perspective who have so much history and knowledge about the town that they grew up in. What's he getting a picture of? Jackie and Jerry. Welcome to the vlog. Thanks for having us. Well thanks for coming. I don't like flags. Jackie doesn't like flags I hope. And I thought let's make an A. They'll know we're Canadian. Canadian A. Run Dove. Run. Run. Come on. I don't get to pee Dove. Come on now. Give me a little jaunt. Oh crap. I ate my carrot too quickly and I get the hiccups. This happened yesterday too. Another 60 zone. It's like you're flinching. It'll go away. I promise. It'll just take some time. Now that we're slowing down I feel like we're going like no miles per hour. Poor little thing. I'm scared that she's going to choke on the carrot.
