Day 21: Alsask to Kindersely

Brutal is a good word for today. It was cold, wet (and only got wetter as the day wore one) and windy. Oh the wind. (Doesn't this just make you want to be here pedalling along with us?!!?!) Our original destination point for today was Netherhill, about 21km past Kindersley, then we were going to hop in the RV and drive back to the Kindersley to stay there the night to visit with some family of mine.

Anyhoo, our plan was not to be. Quite early on in our ride, we unanimously decided to stop at Kindersley. Mom and Dad were leap-frogging with us a lot today. It was really nice to keep seeing that big, white beast in the distance waiting for us. By the time we arrived at the RV park, they had soup and hot chocolate ready for us, and even gone into the showers and pressed the button numerous times to get the water hot for us. Now that is dedication! It was wonderful.

That night Mom, Dad, Warren and I headed off to Jen and Pat's place (family of mine) for a ton of absolutely delicious food. These dears also let us steal their laundryroom and internet while we were there as well. It was so nice to see them again.

Jen and Pat: Once again, thanks to both of you for your wonderful hospitality!!!

Jen drove us back to our RV around 11pm, where we promptly fell into beds.

Hopefully the weather tomorrow is better!
