140 kms today. Yeehaw. Our longest day yet, but totally worth it for finding a nice campground with trees, creeks and wildlife (such as beavers and perhaps a muskrat or something similar, other than the plentiful stuffed artifacts in the main office/store...) in the middle of the nothingness of the prairies. Don't get me wrong though, it's pretty cool to see for miles and miles and there only being fields. The lack of trees and shrubbery is odd to me since I've grown up with tons around me.
But I disgress. The weather was pretty good today. We managed to stay in this pocket of sunshine, or mild cloud cover and avoid the serious downpouring that some other poor folks were getting all around us. We thought about stopping in this place called Parkbeg at about the 120km mark, but there wasn't much there (read as anything) but an old, closed down gas station in which Mom and Dad had parked to wait for us. We were all still feeling pretty decent, so decided to push onwards toward the campground (the lure of showers is very strong) and we'd be closer to our rest day destination of Regina for the following day's ride.
I think it was a good decision...
