Road to Winnipeg - Day 3

Day 3 of the road trip from Thunder Bay to Winnipeg was another interesting drive. The driving took me through a heavy rain storm starting from Thunder Bay. Fortunately enough, unlike Day 2 going around Lake Superior, there were no steep mountain roads to ascend or descend. Nevertheless, the elevation of the terrain in which the highway passes through was up to 525m above sea level. The terrain around Lake Superior on Day 2 was much below 400m albeit quite steep.

The Day 3 drive started off late in the morning at 10:45am. Driving through the heavy rain around lunch time, at about 1pm, I came upon a tiny highway town called Uppsala. I had slowed down, hoping to find a decent restaurant to stop for lunch. But I passed through it in just an instant. I made a quick U-turn back into the small town and stopped at a gas-bar with a souvenir store and a small restaurant (the all-in-one type of store). I ordered a lunch platter of cabbage rolls and perogies. Yummie, it was the best cabbage rolls and perogies I ever had in a long time. In about 40min, the heavy rain had sizzled to just a drizzle, and it was time to continue on my way to Winnipeg. Nearing Dryden, the sky cleared and it became sunny and hot (high 20s, as opposed to high teens just before). Apparently, I had just driven past the edge of a cold front into a warm front of nice weather!
