Driving east through the Prairies



Thursday September 1, 2016

   Mary Ellen and the Scots were on their flights home and it was time for Jim and I to head east after an overnight near the airport. Mary landed at home just as we left.

   We got on Rt 1, the Trans Canada Highway and will take it close to 1,000 miles before we turn south passed Winnepeg in Manitoba.

   We were back in the rolling hills and open ground after leaving the mountains and there wasn't much to take pictures of. One magpie did pose for us at a gas station, where he was looking for a handout.

   We passed through the famous towns of Medicine Hat and Swift Current. In Moose Jaw we stopped at a Tim Hortons for a donut and coffee, I figured that was about as Canadian as we could ever get.

   At 5:00 we stopped for the night in Regina, we'd have liked to go father but it was two extra hours to the next town plus a time change where we'd lose an hour.

   I finally found a car wash in Regina. There was so much dirt on my car I was afraid if have to go through an agricultural inspection at the border. 

   One more day in Canada before we drop south back into the US.
