| Moose Jaw Sask |
It feels like winter again - cold and windy this morning - departing from Saskatoon. Another easy drive to Moose Jaw passing some very large farm equipment moving to fields for seeding. While some fields are still under water, many higher ones are being planted. There was still leftover snow along the sides of the highway through Saskatchewan and into Manitoba. Spring has been/is playing games with us.
Took in the tour of the tunnels (Al Capone version) and had an amazingly good lunch at Horizon's in Moose Jaw.
Excitement began for us when we realized our parking meter had run out of money almost an hour earlier and we were able to have an aerobic workout on our way back to the car. Luckily, no ticket.
Next, we managed the last 40 kilometers into Brandon on 'air and a prayer' when the 'empty' light came on. At least we now know that we can go at least that far on empty. Luckily we made it to a PetroCan on the outskirts of town without having to coast.
Then, we found a nice Super 8 Motel and they gave us a double room which was also being occupied by another couple. Luckily the desk clerk found another room which was unoccupied and gave us another discount.
