Day 57
We left the group of 8 at 6:30 am (but Marcel and Carole beat us away by 4 minutes) and we got to Saskatoon 16 RV Park at 5:01. The haze from the BC forest fires affected the visibility for almost the first two hours of our drive. Before we were out of Jasper National Park we had seen: 1 coyote, 2 sheep, 2 male elk (then 1 km down the road a herd of female elk) then a pair of deer (male and female); and when we got to Elk Island National Park we saw so many bison that we could not count them.
The strangest thing we saw today was in the middle of flat Saskatchewan, with the horizon in view for 360 degrees was a road called "Mountain View Road"; someone must have had a good sense of humour when they named that one...
Happy hour was not the same with only two of us today - but the beer was refreshing after that long drive.
P.S. - we did NOT stop for cinnamon buns anywhere today...
P.P.S.
Forgot to mention the quiz that Bill made up during our trip; at happy hour yesterday on our last day together as a group he dazzled us with 25 questions; the best any of us could do was get 14 correct; thanks to Bill - we all enjoyed reminiscing the whole trip in one hour.
