Day 3 - Saskatchewan

Someone told me that travelling through The Prairies is boring, I guess they haven't travelled with Deanna.
Fueled by Deanna's aunties stories of "you shouldn't go further without a tool for breaking windsheilds", "people make the mistake of not waiting until the car is completely full of water before trying to get out" and "it only takes 18 inches of water to wash a car away".
So the day started with a quick trip to see the family farm, my question "isn't this the road your auntie told us not to take? Deanna's reply "Oh, I'm sure they would have blocked it if it was unsafe"

This is a farm field, who knew you needed a Causeway to get through. I started to really worry when the army appeared sandbagging the side of the road. We made it through though before the controlled breach of the Dike (that was a scary conversation at the dinner table yesterday let me tell you, apparently a controlled breach is much better than an uncontrolled blowing of the dike, I beg to differ).

The journey from then continued without much scenery, lucky it was a short day.
We are now in Moose Jaw and have just had supper with Deanna's Mum, great aunt and second cousin. It was an English tea type meal on bone china and very welcome.

Next stop Calgary
