We pulled off the highway at the first exit and headed into town ,it was all small industrial area with not many hotel type places, we cruised up and down the street to find a decent looking motel but there just wasn't any finally pulling up outside one, there was no desk and it looked like you could rent a room by the hour, not the sort of place i would want to take Louise in ,not that i have been in any like this i might just add, so we said lets just look up that street and when we got to a large set of lights there were loads to choose from we settled for a best western paid and got our room, next thing food , again plenty to choose from and we even watched ice hockey on a big screen.
The Canadians really make you feel welcome once they find out your from overseas.
After a good nights sleep we were back on the 1 again heading east but this time we had booked our bed for the night in Regina, so we could take out time and enjoy whatever came our way.
There is one thing you cant miss the provincial borders they are massive and the Albertan one is bigger that this one.
We had been on the road for about two hours and Louise said she would like to visit the rest room [i have been told to keep it clean] after three hours she said she would really really like to visit a rest room, now thing is i only go once a day and we hadn't come across a rest room and when your traveling across the prairies there arnt many trees or bushes, well there are none so i said she would have to go behind the car up a side range road, so i turned off and headed about a mile off the main road set the car up across the road and let her get on with it, thing is we hadn't been there too long when i told her a pick up was coming up the same road toward us [the only pick up on the only road for miles] well after a few choice words she looked up and saw it and then another few choice words i moved the car and the truck passed.

The weather wasn't so good today and it was raining when all of a sudden a moose was running along the side of the high way trying to cross the road and boy are they ugly so i stopped and took this picture.
After seeing a moose there was only one place to visit, Moose Jaw so we turned off and had a look round.
if any of you get to go there visit the tunnels of moose jaw and the Chinese laundry they are well worth the money its all about AL Capone and they dress up in costumes of the time
