Alberta bound

Today we travelled from Saskatoon to Lloydminster and finished in Wainwright after notching up another 1000 kilometres….

Lloydminster is a border city. Actually it straddles the border between Saskatchewan and Alberta. Therefore, it is fitting that it features the world’s largest boundary markers. You will find 4 of these on the side of the main drag

Wainwright greeted us with a large bison, but the attraction is the clock tower in the centre of the main downtown intersection.

Lest we forget.  For the last two days, we have seen several federal and provincial flags at half mast in Saskatchewan and Alberta.  We paused a few moments to reflect on recent events.
