Pictures as promised

I mentioned in yesterday's post that I was experiencing technical difficulties but said I had one of the sharpest minds of Saskatchewan working on it.  Well, that didn't work but a change of accommodations did.  We are now at the Creston Valley Hotel and the wifi here seems to be working well.  I'll write more about today's ride later but for now here are some pictures from the last two days.


Tuesday crossing into Saskatchewan from Manitoba on the TCH, a closed visitor centre; what's with that, restraint?

The inland grain terminal just to the west of Grenfell, Saskatchewan. The gravel road to the Tholl family farm is just past here.

This field of wheat is one one side of the driveway leading to Bill's boyhood home;

and on the other this field of canola.

This is the house,

and the barn and grain bins. The bike is just to prove that I was really there.

This is a field of flak; from a distance it actually looks like a lake.

Tuesday, Greg Basky and I had dinner at Brown's Social House on River Street in Lethbridge.

Wednesday Greg and I started our journey on Hwy 3 together we stopped for lunch at the Star Cafe and Grill in Maple Creek Saskatchewan. Those are our bikes in front of the restaurant, the yellow building.

We crossed into Alberta on Hwy 1 yesterday and a guy from Quebec took this picture of Greg and I

This is just a picture of the wide open spaces next to the stop where the Welcome to Alberta sign on Highway 3, the Crowsnest Highway.
