Another day with only about 2 1/2 hours of travel. We wanted to spend at least one night in Mabitoba on the way back. Another morning when we could breakfast outside. Is this a trend developing? I certainly hope so. We solved another family puzzle along the way. Why did my grandfather come to SaskatchewanContinue reading “June 26 Moose Mountain PP SK to Austin, MN / Manitoba Agriculture Museum and RV Park”

June 25 Regina SK to Moose Mountain Provincial Park
Not a lot of travel today. We are taking a bit of a break over the weekend and take advantage of the lovely weather. Our campsite on Echo Lake PP was on one of the 4 lakes in the Qu’Appelle Valley formed by the Qu’Appelle River. We just drove along the lakes enjoying the smallContinue reading “June 25 Regina SK to Moose Mountain Provincial Park”
June 24 Moosejaw SK to Regina SK
I think summer just might have decided to make an appearance. Another lovely cloudless warm day although rain is badly needed here. Short drive of an hour to Regina through the same prairie landscape. We saw a couple of potash plants in the area. Regina is the provincial capital, a beautiful city with parks andContinue reading “June 24 Moosejaw SK to Regina SK”
June 23 Cypress Hills SK PP to Moosejaw SK
Gorgeous morning and finally warm enough to eat outside. We have a 4 hour drive to Moosjaw, SK via Swiftcurrent, SK. It was my turn to start off driving. Scenery much the same as yesterday, rolling farmland. The trickiest part of the drive was trying to avoid hitting the prairie dogs who always seem toContinue reading “June 23 Cypress Hills SK PP to Moosejaw SK”
June 22 Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park, AB to Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park. SK
Gorgeous morning but still too cool to eat outside. I am beginning to think that may never happen on this trip. We took our time since we are only changing campsites/campgrounds in the same Park between provinces. This Park is divided into 3 blocks: West (Alberta), East ( Saskatchewan) and Center. Its about 40 milesContinue reading “June 22 Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park, AB to Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park. SK”
May 28 Saskatoon to The Battlefords
This is another day when we don’t have far to travel. This is a day we built into the schedule for rest, van clean up etc and we did not have a place to stay particularly. Rather than staying an extra night in Saskatoon, we decided to give ourselves a couple of hours on theContinue reading “May 28 Saskatoon to The Battlefords”

Bird sightings: Redwing blackbirds, terns, pintail ducks, swallows, bald eagle, bufflehead ducks.
