| Indian Head ~ Little Mosque on the Prairie |
It isn’t that we want to rush
home, but when you set the cruise control at 60 mph, one can easily surpass the
250 mile a day desired limit for day travel. Today, for example, we reached the
300 mile mark at 3pm. We are in a small whistle stop town along the
Saskatchewan /Manitoba border. We decided to stay here for the night because we
can attend church here and get a good start tomorrow. It started to drizzle and
then steady rain after lunch in Indian Head. Speaking of Indian Head… Anybody
who watches the Canadian show “Little Mosque on the Prairie” should know that
this is the home of the show. I personally don’t know anything about the
program, but I have heard of the name.
It is hard to blog about hundreds
of miles of prairie which are so similar to a stranger to the land. I’m sure if
I talked to the locals, they could educate me on several topics. There are only
small towns with no one in sight.
Tonight, I plugged in our coordinates
in Moosomin, SK and Berlin, NH and we are 1,851.35 miles from home. The
computer tells me that would take 38:01 hours of driving. We don’t plan on
driving that distance in one shot. It is only good information for the mind. I
am sitting here and reflecting back to all the miles we have covered on this
journey. All of the wonderful people we have met and enjoyed talking to at
campfires at night and on the road. If I was ambitious enough, I should write a
book on our travels. I have had some excellent conversations with, of all
people, “Bikers” both motorized and pedal bike about future places to visit.
Ironically, one is nearly in our backyard. Newfoundland and Labrador! I’ve
heard stories from them about seeing Icebergs, whales, seeing mountains in
Labrador as exquisite as the Swiss Alps. Time will tell if my canoe will bring
me to these magical places.
That is what we did and saw
