This is the southern part of the ring dyke showing the new Paterson elevator that is still under construction. On top of this elevator is the VE4CND repeater which was moved here from St. Jean one week before the dyke was closed and the town of Morris evacuated of all but essential personell. The repeater had some overheating problems at the new site and was little used by the ARES operation. If it hadn't been moved though it would have been severly damaged by water.
This is a picture of the bridge over the Marsh River on Highway 23 east of Morris. We had to drive through the strong current going over this bridge to make our way back to Winnipeg after our services were no longer neccessary.
