My trip to Saskatchewan wasn’t exactly as I expected. I do have to say that I don’t like Saskatchewan and likely will never return. It’s too damn flat and boring. I know that we need to grow wheat and wow, do we ever, everywhere in Saskatchewan.

I arrived around dinner time on Thursday and, due to unforeseen events, I left less than 24 hours later. I made it to Medicine Hat by 930pm on Friday evening and stayed at a great Comfort Inn and Suites.

I hit the road at 430am and was home by 8. The drive was good, no deer tried to run on front of me to commit suicide.

I was planning on spending my 50th birthday in Saskatchewan with friends, that’s not happening. Honestly, I’ll never return. The roads there are brutal, a mess of patchwork pavement and horrible shoulders. The people seemed to be rude, perhaps it’s because I have Alberta plates? Whatever it is, it didn’t appeal to me. I’m happy to be back in Alberta and happy to be back in the mountains.
