Oh, The Great Prairies

Thurs. Aug. 2, 2007

The Prairies were quite the experience. I don't think I've ever seen so many rolls of hay in my life. There would even be rolls of hay on the grass dividers in the middle of the highway. Honestly, how many rolls of hay does each farm need? All in all, the prairies were not as bad as everyone made it out to be. It certainly was flat, dry and boring, but it was an easy ride (120-130km all the way!).

Winnipeg, MB: WelcomeStop RV Campgrounds (who knew there would be a brown family owning an RV park in the middle of the Prairies)



Whoo! We crossed into Saskatchewan. Though there were no signs to take a picture of, so we settled with a highway sign for Regina.



Regina, Sask: Twin Towers in the "business core" Apparently these towers were an attempt to modernize the city. I was pleasantly surprised with Regina. It was more trendy than I had anticipated for a small city in Saskatchewan.




Driving the Prairies. Just look at that horizon! As the joke goes, you would still be able to see your lost dog running 3 days later.




You can drive more than 100km without seeing a gas station!



Crap! We ran out of gas! Good thing we had that handy 20L gas container in our trunk!





Since we were already pulled over due to the gas shortage, we decided to take advantage of the hay photo opp!





Sigh, it's been a long day driving through the Prairies...


Not Captured, But Worth Mentioning:
We made our way through Moose Jaw and it was quite the small town. Therefore, 3 Asian girls coming out of an RV was certainly news to everyone (which we are pretty much accustomed to). As we were getting into our RV, some guy made the following comment: "Asian Persuasion, can I come to Ontario with you?" wow, clever....
