Let's face it, Manitoba isn't the most interesting place in the world. Anyone know anywhere that is kinda more secluded with nice scenery and a road thats not gravel?

I agree with the last poster... If you start where River road meets highway #9 (north of the city, out main street past the perimeter)(theres a gas station at the corner (Dawson's Service)), and go along River Road you will go past Larters Golf course following the river, past Kennedy House (new name for the place, but its got nice English gardens and tea house), past old St Andrews Church, past the original old Skinners restaurant, under the Lockport Bridge, and eventually back up to #9 Highway. Then, if you brave #9 Highway for 1 kilometer north to get around Lower Fort Garry, River Road starts up again and meanders along until you get to Selkirk. All fairly new pavement and smooth. Total Round trip to Selkirk and back to Dawson's is about 35K. Its a very scenic drive with litlle traffic and lots of places to stop.
