Where's Wingboy?

The Great lakes are behind me. Ride from Terrace Bay to Dryden today with a stop at my niece's place in Thunder Bay to visit. Manitoba tomorrow.
Have to decide between North route or South route in Alberta. Same with BC.

AND.....2.29/l at a small gas station today. I kept going another 100km and put $42 in the Tenere.

Lived in Dryden until I was 14. Father was Manager of Industrial Relations at the paper mill and warned them there would be trouble coming with the downstream pollution. They didn't listen to his warnings, so he quit and we moved to TO in 1969.
 
Saskatchewan gets a bad rap from people. I took the hwy northwest to Saskatoon. And the scenery was really beautiful. (What the heck are the little plastic structures all lined up for hundreds of acres?)
I stopped a few times to just take breaks and feel better. Found a hotel at 3:00,a nap and a nice dinner. Need more happy thoughts.
It will get better when i get to the mountains i think.
 
Great riding. Great people.

Those grain things are huge. I remember riding and seeing them in the distance and they just get bigger and bigger until you are right up on them. The sheer magnitude of how large some of them are is incredible.

I've still got goosebumps from seeing the Rockies for the first time.

They are nothing short of awe-inspiring. First time? You're in for a treat. Photos simply can't capture the scale. If you're like me, you'll take a million pictures of every vista in open-mouthed wonder, only to struggle to tell them apart looking at them later...

I was born in Vancouver. Parents left for Toronto when i was 18 months old.
Ya, it's hard to focus on the highway and traffic. Unreal.
