Started out pretty chilly - 56 degrees BUT it's the last day in the truck 
YAHOO!! Left the interstate behind. For now, we're on a divided highway but I bet that ends soon. Little traffic. For entertainment, we guess how far up ahead we can see. So far, it's been about 3.5 miles. It's really flat. We saw 4 cars and Harry said, "Criminey, look at the traffic." Most we've seen since we left Jamestown 3 hours ago. Saw lots of oil drilling rigs.

Harry and Shuffy wouldn't make it through it so we sweet talked the attendant.

It's called the Energy City because of its coal-fired generators and oil production and has won the right to host the national music festival to raise awareness of climate change. The city of 10,000 had the most entries per capita to a web-based contest that encouraged people to calculate their greenhouse gas emissions and reduce them. Pretty cool.
The landscape in Canada is flat. Miles and miles of nothing but grass,
grains of some kind because there are LOTS of grain elevators and trains to haul everything. We even saw a colorful grain elevator. There's about 15-20 miles in between each town and NOTHING in between the towns.

According to legend, a Cree Indian brought Lake a handful of hte purple berries that grew in abundance alongside the river. Lake 
was so taken with the fruit he named his settlement Saskatoon, after misakquatoomina, the Indiana name for the wild berries. Today a slice of Saskatoon pie is a traditional treat recalling the city's past. Saskatoon is known as the city of bridges because of the seven spans connecting its banks.

The province of Saskatchewan grows half of the entire quantity of Canada's major export crops: wheat, oats, barley, rye, flaxseed and canola.
Billy and Harry are getting the bikes out of the trailer.
Can you tell that Bill is ready? I'm sure we'll be leaving bright and early. Not sure how far we'll make it tomorrow. Supposed to have thunder storms. Bill is getting our rain gear ready.
The owner of the motel is a Harley owner. He had spots saved for our Harleys.
