10:00 am passed a mega bone field of
Dinosaur remains 76 million years old. Google had some info ... this area was once a coastal region that had a huge hurricane-type storm that killed this herd. Two pics below, borrowed from Google.
Trains, miles long, ply the prairies. Picture of 2 diesel engines enroute to work is below. Grain elevators, oil wells pumping and huge grazing cattle constitute our scenery at this moment.
Randy is accident-prone ... this morning he drove his head into a kitchen cabinet in the Grand Junction; OUCH!!! Then, two hours later he bumped into the Prevost mirror. Sue managed to get a picture of the ice pack sticking out from his cap. Poor Randy ... he did a "Fritz" ... he does entertain us. LOL
Reed Lake in Saskatchewan is a saline body of water, important for birds. Photo below of the lake and salt flats. Interesting being that it's 1,000 miles from the ocean!!!
Randy delivered lunch at Moose Jaw Flying J while we bought more fuel ... headwinds today! Fuel stops are few, do we take on diesel when we can.
Regina, Saskatchewan's capital city, pops out of the landscape like berries on a pancake. Got a quick pic of a glass building with a teepee designed into it.
Now 3:40 pm with 157 miles to go !
At 6:18 we crossed into Manitoba; 71 miles to Brandon, but first a stop for dinner in Virden.
