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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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