Day One!

Starting Point: Sherwood Park, AB
End Point: Saskatoon, SK
Mileage: 503 km
Weather: Rainy in Alberta, Sunny in Saskatchewan!
Accommodations: Ramada

Length of time it took for Kathleen to ask if we were there yet: 30 seconds
Length of time it took for Kathleen to complain that the trip was RUINED: 20 minutes

We left Sherwood Park today at about 5:30 in the evening and had an uneventful drive through Lloydminster, North Battleford and into Saskatoon.  Nothing much exciting in the way of wildlife today, but we did see a couple of bison, a couple of deer, a coyote and an owl. Hooooo!  We were amused to see a sign in one rural SK town advertising upcoming outhouse races.  Sounds exciting!  The sunset behind us was stunning and we will happily post pictures as soon as we acquire an appropriate cable.  (Always one thing we forget!)

Looking forward to our first round of golf tomorrow at Dakota Dunes. The only thing that may dampen our spirits is the dampness itself! There's rain in the forecast...

Next stop, Winnipeg!
