Travel was good today. Came out of the Red Deer River Valley and up onto the plains. Roads were pretty good, Scenery was rolling hay fields and moved into flatter grain fields. All grain fields are killed off as farmers use a strong fertilizer to kill the weeds in preparation for seeding. Saw some fields being worked, but the area between Drumheller and Saskatoon they were very dry with many sloughs looking like their water levels near mid summer heights. (My feelings)
Arrived in Saskatoon to the nearest Walmart and was talking to some people in a trailer. Then saw signs on the light posts that this parking lot had a 4 hour limit or $65 fine, so we decided to carry on and get a camping spot early as the long weekend would probably be very busy. Arrived at Wakaw Lake Provincial Park after the gatehouse was closed but were able to set up camp for the night.
