We woke up somewhat early today, but it took us awhile to get on the road. Allan was dropped off on the highway by the campsite where we picked him up. We didn’t have the tailwind today that we’ve had for the past few, but the important thing is we didn’t have a head wind. The weather in Saskatchewan has been really mild. Rarely pushing the upper 20 degrees.
Around 90k into the ride, we saw a 50’s nostalgia restaurant on the highway. We later found out that it doubled as a Coca-Cola Museum. We had dinner there for an hour or so. We chatted the owner up for awhile before we left. We’ll try and stop by there again when we’re Alberta bound.
Saskatchewan has been fantastic so far. Nice people, decent scenery, and most importantly: no mountains. Although, one thing that we see a lot of on the highway is road kill. Mostly gofers. Every couple minutes you have to dodge one.
Our goal today was Whitewood, but we decided to go further to Moosomin. It was our first 200k day today. It was perfect weather to do it. I was feeling pretty worn out by the end of it.
We found a decent campsite just off the highway. There are tones of mosquitoes. My tent pole snapped, so I’ll be sleeping in the van tonight.
