On the road again! Makin’ miles! Keepin’ time with the telephone poles! As the school year closed, a corner in 2016 was turned. The last seven months have been a blur. It seems like haulin’ across the country is actually a change of pace. What happened seven months ago? What happened over the last seven months? Many things, hopefully many posts to tell the tales. But for now…

We are road trippin’! We are travellin’ the beaten and untrodden path! We are in Russell Manitoba!

As I write this post (it has taken three days, spotty internet etc. etc.) I am making coffee, feeding the young man of the same name as our host village and getting a lunch bag put together. Everyone else by some road trip miracle is sleeping in.

It has taken us this far to find our groove but we are also more seasoned and have not had any roadside meltdowns. (Thinking circa 2012, potential divorce by Grande Prairie!) Our groove seems to be changing every day though as we figure something out and get better. That being said, it seems that the spirit of Houdini is pushing us along as every day it is “squirrel!” And we choose the left turn instead of the well researched right. Yesterday this took us to the ‘Dead Sea of Canada’ found in Southern Saskatchewan. Who knew? So Squirrel turned into three hours on a sometimes super sketchy secondary highway. However, it provided us with quintessential Saskatchewan.

Good Mornin’ Dom. ‘Bout to get goin’…
