Destination: Assiniboine Park

A slight miscalculation in route – apparently Waverley doesn’t connect like we thought it did. Arvid is pressing on. We’ll stay on the Perimeter until McGillivray and then head in to Assiniboine Park – come meet us for a book!

Longest Commute? Or most extensive tour of construction?

Yikes! The rides have been great, but the folks in the support crew have been shown a LOT of construction in their travels….
