Update No. 3: Three Provinces

     Hey guys! As some of you may know due to social media, I have finally made it out of Ontario. I ended up driving 952kms from Dryden, Ontario to Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan yesterday. And yes they were right, Manitoba and Saskatchewan are very boring to drive through. Although it did make for a relatively easy drive (the speed limit being 110km/hr helped a lot).
     My experience in Manitoba did not last long. I entered Manitoba around 11:30am, and by 3:30pm I was well into Saskatchewan. The funny thing is that I didn't even know that I was in Saskatchewan until I stopped for gas. I noticed that there was an awful lot of Roughrider memorabilia for sale in the gas station. Then I had to double check with myself but sure enough, I had crossed an entire province in just a few hours. I don't remember seeing any kind of 'Welcome to Saskatchewan' sign which is what I was looking for.
     As for Saskatchewan.. It was somehow even flatter than Manitoba. The highway didn't go through any towns or cities like you see when driving on the 401 in Ontario. Just farmland as far as the eye can see. As boring as it was, I did see a pretty stellar sunset.
     Coming into Regina was a very interesting experience. I've never been to Las Vegas but I imagine that is was just like driving into that city. It was dark out and I've seen nothing but flat farmland for the last 6 hours of driving. Then I see some city lights in the distance, and boom! It was like I was driving down the famous Strip. Lights, restaurants, shopping centres everywhere! Within 30 seconds I went from a population of about 6 cows per square mile to what looked like a city built for 500,000 people. It was quite a strange feeling.
     Moose Jaw is about 45 minutes further passed Regina. I had booked a cheap Motel in Moose Jaw the night before so that is where I was headed. I ended up being in 3 different Provinces all in one day yesterday. I am off to Calgary today to visit with some family and then figure out what my next step will be. This should be the last big drive I'll have to do for a while.
I'll talk to you guys soon and happy Friday to everyone. Try buying something for someone else with all of these awesome Black Friday deals!
Bye!

This is Manitoba. Saskatchewan is even flatter..
