Saskatchewan

We had a great camping trip in Central Saskatchewan. Typical camping in some ways: a little cold, a little wet, a little buggy - unfortunately, absolutely no fish to be had in Saskatchewan until late June :(. We came, we tried, we did not conquer. BUT, we did enjoy the peace of an early camping season where we had almost the entire park to ourselves. Probably because there was no good fishing. And there were very few bugs....and that could be due to the -3C one night...

This is what we woke up to this thick frost.

You would think that Saskatchewan weather would be predictable. You know, you can see it coming for miles, right? But this trip, it was cold and cloudy, then hot and sunny, then cold and cloudy and wet, then hot and sunny, etc, etc, etc. Poor hubby didn't know whether his shirt should be off or on. And in a space of an hour, it was both about 5 times each. Wife, who likes to be warmly dressed no matter the weather, just kept covered up. Smartie.

What else is there to do in the bush?







Actually, we enjoyed the peace enough that we extended our stay by one day. 'Course, when we got home the women enjoyed the hot showers that aren't timed, the slathering of cream, and plenty of hair conditioner. Oh, and the pedicures that are already booked for tomorrow. Sure, the wife can survive 3 months of camping.... sure.....

We have three more days in amazing Saskatchewan, and then we are bound for Edmonton to renew old friendships.

Keep you posted, W
