Road Trip!

follow the horizon as far as it will take you.
Where: Ultimately Southern Ontario, via Minneapolis,
Chicago, Cincinnati…
When: Summer, 2013
Day 2: Saskatchewan to North Dakota
(First full day on the road)
10:44 AM I’m here in the backseat of the van, between
Saskatoon and Regina, watching the passing prairie landscape. By now we’re all
quite familiar with the ever changing (yet never changing) combinations of
bright canola fields, blue flax fields and green hay fields peppered with hay
bales as far as the eye can see. I’ll say one thing for Saskatchewan: there’s a
lot of horizon! And also a lot of
Subways.
This morning marked the first time I’ve ever driven in
Saskatchewan. We’re taking turns behind the wheel, and mine took us from the
small town of Leask (near where we stayed with friends last night) to
Saskatoon. Is it ever fun to drive in a new city!
4:15 PM Last call for Timbits! We’re about an hour away from
the US border now, so we stopped in Weyburn, SK to stock up while we can. By tonight we will have arrived in the tree-seasoned hills of Minot, ND, far away from any Tim's--but with lots of exciting new places to try!
LIST OF THE DAY:
Certain city and town names in Saskatchewan have a definite “natural” theme running! Here are the ones we've come across so far...
Saskatoon
Moose Jaw
Drinkwater
Milestone
Yellowgrass
