and we're driving .....

Day five and six – July 25 & 26

Last few days have been pretty uneventful. Our focus has been basically drive, get groceries, set up tent, sleep, and drive some more. Left turn Clyde has been doing a good job at driving, but I had to take over a few times. The view, well, it's Manitoba and Saskatchewan ... what more can I say.

We crossed the Saskatchewan border on Wednesday at 2:15 p.m., so it took less than 5 hours to cross the province. We stayed at Echo valley P.P in Sask. and it poured rain from about 5 minutes after we got the tent set up until the next morning.

We then crossed the Alberta border at either 1:20, 2:20 or 3:20 depending on which device we go by – we’ve kinda lost track of the time zones – the computer says it’s 3:26, the car and my blackberry says 2:26 and Dave’s cell says 1:26. … either way, it took a day to cross the province.
We haven’t seen any wildlife, unless you count the skunk in Lake Superior P.P. and the mysterious animal that managed to lift the lid on the Coleman stove during the night in Echo Valley.

 The nice registration woman in Echo Valley P.P. was curious about where we were headed. When we told her we didn’t really have a specific destination in mind, she recommended we wander over to Writing-on-Wall P.P. – it’s one of her most favourite spots in the world. We're intrigued, so we booked there for Sunday and Monday.
