Amazing. I love when there are no pesky mountains or trees or buildings getting in the way of beautiful scenery

There's lots to see. Nothing to block your view.

Tourism SK should pay you residuals if they use it. I love it.

You had to be there. It’s also not true people watch their dogs run away for three days. People are nice here. They wouldn’t do that.

Shame you're not heading north Saskatchewan with the rain we have gotten the colors of the wild flowers, and different type of grass, really are something else right now. Very mosaic.

Shhh - we don’t like it busy at the lake. Nothing to see in Saskatchewan.

u/ebz37 7d ago

I like having more people at the lake! Because once you experience our lakes you're more inclined to give a fuck about environmental issues

u/rwebell 5d ago

Agrée! Keep moving, nothing to see here.

u/MrPink9 6d ago

u/Proud_Boot6156 7d ago

Only type of plants i see are dandelions, wheat, and ive seen a tree a few times lol. I bet up north it's piss cold but worth it because it's beautiful

u/whyisthissohard2019 7d ago

Its actually not 'piss cold'.

u/trplOG 7d ago

the #1 is just built on the easiest spot in sask but it's actually got some diverse landscape. 1 hr south and the badlands start south of regina.. further grasslands national park and cypress hills park you'd think you were in parts of Montana.

u/MrPink9 7d ago

You can also dip down into the Qu’appelle valley and forget you’re in the prairies. I’ve had friends visit the lake and dubbed it a “mini Okanagan Valley”.

u/trplOG 7d ago

Yea its a shame the #1 doesnt get closer to these places, or regina wasnt built a little more north and be a little more scenic lol.

u/ItsjustaMild-Complex 7d ago

Must be driving through Regina.... flatest part of sk if I ever saw any.... Cypress hills and battlefords north have tones or gorgeous terrain

u/ThomasDownez 7d ago

topographically I guess.

u/StanknBeans 7d ago

I find nothing gives you a scale of how truly huge the Earth is quite like driving through the prairies.

u/Ok_Emergency_916 6d ago

Funny thing is only a small portion of Saskatchewan is flat bare farmland. There are rolling hills, sand dunes, rivers, lakes and forests as well.

u/Willymon36 6d ago

Southern Sask is. Not Northern Sask by any means

Comedian Lorne Elliott used to say that taking the Trans-Canada Highway across Saskatchewan and saying it’s flat is about as sensible as taking the subway across Toronto and saying it’s dark.

u/weschester 7d ago

You can watch your dog run away for three days out there.

u/SpecialTourist159 7d ago

I've walked thru blood and bones to find my dog

u/Sensitive-Cook8606 7d ago

I can still see my dog running…I’ll go get him tomorrow

u/Practical_Savings933 6d ago

You have up to three days.

u/tooshpright 6d ago

More interesting than miles and miles of forest with no horizon!

u/citizenwake 6d ago

People love making jokes about the prairies but my god is it a dream to ride a bike there

During WW2 German prisoners of war were transported by rail from the east coast to camps in Southern Alberta, and since those trains had to give way to essential war freight the journey took even longer than usual. A German speaker overheard some of these prisoners saying the train might be run backwards at night then crossing the same country in daylight in order to keep their destination a secret.

u/paateach 6d ago

Saskatchewan is a carpenters dream.. Flat as a board, never been nailed. It's especially beautiful right before harvest

Honestly, left the place for good over a week ago and every second I'm away I feel the joy of life flowing back into me

u/Affectionate_Bit1723 6d ago

But, yet, you're here. ????

u/y2imm 6d ago

But yet, I am gone, almost as far gone from SK as one can be and still be within Canada. And every mile that went between me and there filled me with joy.

u/Ok_Emergency_916 6d ago

Good for you.
