Furthest North we have been...

On Dean's second day off, we randomly decided to take a road trip. So into the car we went and started driving north of La Ronge. Once on the road, we saw the signs for Stanley Mission. We had read a little bit about this place, and it has a really old church...

Here is a copy of some of its history:

"From 1850 to 1856 a beautiful Anglican Church was built on the northern bank. It was constructed by local residents, and overseen by the Rev. Robert Hunt. Whipsaws were used to cut lumber for the church from local logs. Windows and hardwood were brought by boat from England via Hudson Bay. The church is now a provincial historic park and is used by Stanley Mission residents and visited by tourists. It is recognized as the oldest building in Saskatchewan. "



It had just rained too after we got there, so you may be able to see a very faint rainbow just behind the church..

After coming back from Stanley Mission, we went a little further north on the main highway there, and came to Little Deer Lake... a primer opportunity to do some fishing before it rained! Unfortunately no bites this time!
