Day 18 - Edmonton, Alberta to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan

Today was another completely cloudy day -- BUT NO RAIN (we're looking for the positives here). It was also another cold day and very windy. We were all glad that we only had about 350 miles to go. The winds were gusting around 41 mph.

We stopped for gas at a truckstop in Lloydminster and learned that Saskatoon had a terrible storm in the night -- 4-5 inches of rain fell and washed over part of the road. They weren't sure if eastbound was open. Being the adventurers we were, we decided to try it and see what happened.


Sure enough, there was water over the road but the road crew had cleaned up at least one lane so that we were able to get through by riding on the berm.

Made it to Saskatoon without any other incident. Anna was so glad she kissed the truck.
We have a lot of great memories and photos to share with you all.

It was a trip of a lifetime. It really is a different frontier, vast wilderness.
