Travel Day 1 - July 20th

A rest stop in Roleau, Sask. Note the beautiful Saskatchewan sky!

Lientje at the same rest stop in Roleau, Sask.

We were off first thing this morning at six o'clock as planned. The day went smoothly and the only thing that occurred was that Oslo scraped his forehead on something in the trailer. It is not serious though, just a flesh wound that has left a bare spot on his forehead.

Our trip took us through Medicine Hat accross to the Trans Canada highway into Saskatchewan. On the Trans Canada highway just east of the Saskatchewan border the highway was washed out going west from all the rain they have had in the past few weeks. Luckily, the highway was only two lanes for a few kilometers and it didn't pose a problem. We have stopped for the night at a barn just north of Estevan called Tica Horses and Stables. It is a really nice place and Oslo and Tango are enjoying their large stalls. Both horses seem to be travelling well (knock on wood) and are happy to be resting for the night.

I think that is all for today! Fairly uneventful day, which is how we like travel days to be. Time for dinner now - mom is cooking!! She actually does a good job while we are camping for those of you wondering!

Tomorrow morning on the road again at six o'clock and we cross the border into North Dakota. We will lose an hour due to the time change. The plan is to reach Minneapolis and stay there for the night.
