Back of the photo says, "Renvier, Manitoba, September 2, 1922. Swamp in road 3 miles east of Renvier on road to Cowan." Album says, "The trail almost disappears near Renvier, Manitoba."
Back of the photo says, "Jack pine on road near Cowan." Album caption says, "Some roadwork has been done near Cowan."
Back of the photo says: "Cowan, Manitoba. Galacian Church east of Cowan. September 3, 1922." Album caption says "Ruthenian Church near Cowan."
Back of the photo says, "Haystack hotel at Cowan. September 3, 1922." Album caption says, "I slept overnight in this haystack near Cowan." I find no evidence that anyone else was with him. I come by my genes honestly, but I think that I was in more danger on the road in my van than he was on his bicycle. I'd prefer bears to delinquents any day.
