Sad day today … starting to head east again and the last
little bit through the mountains. We finally saw big horned sheep – it was
like they knew we really wanted to see them, so they were just standing there
on the side of the mountain waiting for us. 
We’re taking a different way back this time – the Yellowhead
across through Edmonton and we landed in North Battleford, Sask for the night –
about an hour from Saskatoon (Saskatcha-toon if you’ve seen Grown Ups.) It was
our first night in 15 days that we didn’t sleep in a tent. Tomorrow is another
day of driving to get us closer to Ontario and hopefully we’ll be able to do a
few more days of camping before we’re back to reality. 
Just an observation, but it’s kinda cool to see the names of
NHL players posted on town signs who came from these remote towns. Those are
dedicated parents who must have driven them hours a day to the closest arena –
not to mention distant cities for games.
Westfalia count = 20
