We've made it to our third Provence: Saskatchewan. If it wasn't for the change in the road signs, it would be hard to tell the difference between eastern Alberta and western Saskatchewan. Both are fairly level, yet rolling country, covered in farms as far as you can see in all directions. Our last night in Alberta we stayed at a campground in Youngstown (it was more of a field with RV hookups and a fire-pit) but it did have a hotel with a small-town bar on the ground floor. There was some interesting people to talk to there, I kind of liked listening to this retired trucker guy go on about where he's been and what he's hauled. The next day we rode to Saskatchewan, at lunch we did the usual and stopped at Subway. Rich and I were looking at the map, Aiden had left to make a phone call, when another cyclist came in. He asked us where we were from, and when we asked him he answered with Denver. He had left two weeks before us, yet had gone up through Utah, Oregon, Washington, BC, and then Alberta; needless to say he put us to shame. Mind you he was raising money for a charity and was van supported... We have about a day an a half of cycling left until we hit Saskatoon and we are all looking forward to sometime off again to rest our legs.

What???? Why did you guys skip the creationist museum?
Brutal headwind- we would have had to gone 40 k to Big Valley and then another 50 k to Settler. All of that would have been quite far out of our way as it would have been straight north. It's a shame that we didn't make it on the same time it felt good going directly east a 100 k for a time.
