Yesterday we decided to stay in North Dakota and see some things, do some last minute stocking up and get the laundry done. 

Today we crossed into Canada.  We keep saying if we didn't have bad luck we wouldn't have any.  A rig went, threw up a rock and you guessed it - big chip in our windshield.  And the road was so rough it just kept spliting until it went all the way up.  It's also working it's way down. 

So far besides bad roads Canada has been foggy, cold and windy.  Some vehicles even have ice on their antennas and mirrors.  Guess the temp is in the low 30's.  It wouldn't be so bad if the wind weren't blowing so hard. 

We have been traveling on Hwy 11 to Saskatoon and taking 16 to Edmondton.  As for scenery along this route there isn't much.  Alot of flat farm land, some oil rigs, wind turbines and lots of geese.  Not really much to write home about.  We tried to stop at a roadside rest area, but realized we had missed it when we saw a sign for it on the other side of the road going the other way!  So we found a gas station and pulled in there, got some gas and noticed truck after truck pulling in ( of course there was a Subway inside the station ).  We pulled around and saw 2 picnic tables and figured we had accidentally found one of the roadside parks. 

We took the advice of the Milepost and are getting gas quite often.  The stations are few and far between. 

Hoping tomorrow will bring better weather, and sights.   In the meantime, enjoy these photos and I'll talk to ya later!
