Off by 6:30 on a sunny morning, headed up to the Trans Canada. Miles and miles of nuthin but miles and miles! You can see the dust trail of a vehicle on a dirt road from miles away. Saw 3 more antelope in a field.
No, these weren't antelope:
Speed limit is 110 kph/68 mph on the TransCanada here. We stopped for a good bfast in Swift Current at 9am. Stopped again on #39 at Welburn for a half-hour air-conditioned break. It’s getting hot again, and no air conditioning in the van. Sometimes a lack of A/C was a real drawback to our good ole van.
After going through Estevan (sunniest spot in Canada), we crossed the Sask border into North Dakota at 4:20, near Minot. Camped at the C&R cg in Rugby ND on #2. It’s cooling off nicely, and is a lovely night. There are only 2 cg in town, and they are overrun with Airstreams (and others), but we got the last site in one. Showers, supper, Dairy Queen and truck viewing.
Called the girls and gave them a quiz question when they asked where we were - Where is the geographical center of North America? (Rugby of course). There’s a rock pyramid to mark the spot.
