i went with the gaggle (samson, bryce, and owen) to the pinawa dam last sunday for a day trip. we wanted to escape the city, and having samson in from nova scotia was a perfect excuse to go visit the pinawa dam, which sits a little over an hour outside of winnipeg. it's currently still the off-season, which meant we had very few interruptions from other visitors during our adventuring. it also meant that the weather was cold enough to keep the water mostly frozen without being unbearably cold. all of that is a good thing, because we wandered all over the place and took our time for photo ops.
