This is where thousands of harmless snakes hibernate for the winter. They are just waking up now and they are writhing around in large clumps.
Unfortunately, I miscalculated on the picture and only got a few of the snakes at the bottom of the photo. Seeing that many snakes is a bit freaky and there was also a TV crew there trying to interview us. I did take a bit of video but it also didn't turn out very well.
Then we went on to Gimli, an Icelandic town on Lake Winnipeg. They still do a lot of fishing. We had a delicious lunch but unfortunately,
There was a quilt shop next door selling some Kaffe Fassett fabrics. What could I do?
I also bought some hiking poles. Now I have absolutely no excuses left. I will have to walk every day.
Here are some links to better pictures of the snake dens.

It has been years since we have gone to Narcisse, I think a trip is in our near future. Thanks for the reminder!
How could you possible resist that fabric!!
Well this is pretty darn cool! The snakes are fascinating. I'm intrigued by snakes. Save the snakes I say.
