Day Thirty-One: Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. Finally and he's fit to burst! Bad enough the prairies are all up hill (in a painfully invisible way); and kills the legs, it also wrecks havoc with the bladder. Ever try stopping for a nature break when there are NO TREES. There is no discreet way to find peace and for a shy guy that's torture.

A surprize - Regina is a polite, pretty city, nice town down, civilized (C: small?) and with a beautiful "green mile". (C: imported trees and a fake lake). Moose Jaw too is an attractive town, with good motels and restaurants. Tx G. Cause covered in mosquito bites from the last flea bag motel. First things first, find a Laundromat, The Snow Hut (also sells ice cream), fight with the single moms over washers, kids crying and dogs barking the whole time. Staying at the Travel Lodge on Athabasca and Main, so nice, so clean, so air conditioned.

  1. Next stop, Swift Current? I'm checking the map and wondering how far you'll get each day. It's only 174K away, so that's my guess.
