This blog will be used to document my travels within my own province of Manitoba as well as extended trips I take throughout Canada. I intend to see as much of Canada as I can by travelling only as a Mystery Shopper. As a Mystery Shopper I am paid a fee to visit a business. It may be a restaurant, bank, clothing store or some other form of business. I cannot tell you who pays me or what specific businesses I visit. But I can show you the roads I travel on, and the sites I see.

June 18 'Three Hour Tour' through Stonewall
This trip started with an invitation to Mystery Shop a location in Stonewall, MB. Of course I accepted. I also added on Woodlands and St Laurent to the tour.
Our itinerary this time around had us in Woodlands before noon but we had to be in Stonewall after lunch. That worked out fine. It was a three hour round trip adventure. We left just after 10:00am and were in Woodlands by 11:00am. Then a quick trip up to St Laurent and back again as far as Warren and on to Stonewall. We got into Stonewall in good time. Its good to plan the trip keeping in mind the time one arrives at each location. If you get there too late, you don't get paid for the shop. If you get there too early, then you have to entertain yourself. So plan the entertainment stops along the way. You don't want to get stuck in Boring-Town for two hours, trying to kill time.
The road up to Woodlands and St Laurent has always been quite a rough road. The last time we were on Hwy #6 we saw some construction to the side. We didn't pay a lot of attention to it, but wondered what exactly they were up to. Then we were on the highway, going along #6. And it was smooth, very oddly smooth. We were on a new stretch of highway, the one we saw on April 29th. Even when we travel the same roads, sometimes they are not the same.
We didn't get any pictures on this trip, sorry.
