Did not quite make it to Alberta. Saskatchewan is huge and flat, prairie land and western grasslands. Saw some of the biggest combines that I have ever seen. The marshes that we passed were full of waterfowl, everything is green and pretty. We passed a huge salt mine outside of the capital, Regina. A mountain of white stuff that looked like snow. We made it as far as Swift Current, although we saw nothing “Swift” or “Current” about it. We needed ice for our cooler but none was to be had. I went in a hotel to beg and found out that it was a 3 day weekend and everyone was on holiday. All of the hotels, campgrounds and parks were at capacity and we had run out of steam for the day and needed somewhere to stay. The provincial park where we were planning to stay was full so we had to settle for a small bit of shadeless grass in a trailer park on the outskirts of town. It wasn’t too bad but I’m glad that we are out of there! Had a nice, hot breakfast, knowing that we had a few miles to go. Alden was particularly pleased with our breakfast of Canadian Bacon that we had picked up at the Canadian Super Store. On the road a little late but making good time on these supper straight roads. We are in big sky country now with the horizon stretching for miles. Hoping to make it to Yoho National Park today just over the border into British Columbia.
Great photo!
