After a great visit with D3, hubby loaded up the Avalanche and we pulled out at 5am, Saskatchewan time. The neat thing we've found so far is that the days are so much longer up here. Sundown is 10:30ish, daylight is 4:30am. So getting up early is very easy because you're not fooled by the dark into thinking that you're still tired! Granted, an hour or two down the road and I'm dozing while hubby is driving :) but I hate missing anything so a quick nap is usually all I need.
About 100k north of Kindersley, SK we started seeing what I thought was heavy frost on the roadsides. Another 100k and we were driving in snow, with accumulation on the scenery around us. This is June, right?
The flat lands of Saskatechewan gave way to gentle hills and lots more trees. We were lucky to avoid most of the road construction and got into Edmonton by 10:30am. It is so good to see old friends again! We wouldn't have missed this part of the trip for anything. We intend to stay in Edmonton for a few days, shop and sightsee a little, and then we are off to parts northwest.
