Saskatchewan Canada Adventure

Yesterday was like being back in Kansas US. We have been through Kansas several times on the motorcycle and each time I say I never want to go that way again.  The wind is so bad it beats you so bad.  Well yesterday's ride through Saskatchewan was just that way.  The land was flat and planted in grain, you could of mistaken it for Kansas if you didn't know better..   I think they grow grain for the entire planet.  Theses people are SERIOUS about grain.  There are huge grain bins everywhere , I mean there could be 25-30 in a row.   I believe the entire way across the province was wheat.  In the city of Weyburn they have huge iron sculptures of wheat.  I saw tons of ducks, in every body of water there were hundreds of ducks.  I guess the north is filled with ducks and birds, The Robertsons, Willie, Phil and Si should come up here to hunt.  Another thing is how much vegetation there is, I mean for months this place is covered in snow and ice and to have all these greens plants and grass, bushes and flowers they must grow real fast.  I am amazed..  It was 49 degrees when we pulled out from the hotel and cloudy, I was chilly but it did warm up and the sun finally decided to shine and soon we had to shed some clothes.  We made it to Alberta after around 350 miles or so...we found our Super 8 and got settled in.   Today we plan on getting to Canmore, near Banff. YAY!!   It is 56 degrees this morning.  Not bad.  Will try to get pics on here....oh I forgot about the salt or mineral ponds we saw, they will be the real white bodies of water.  We also saw antelope yesterday.  The dish of French fries and gravy is a Canadian dish called poutine.  Have to try the country's food....yum

Staying in Weyburn, Saskatchewan Canada 🇨🇦 tonight.  We left from Devils Lake ND and made it here through some strong winds.  The country in ND is farming and hay fields.  They have oil pumping in places also.  We've also seen several oil wells here in Saskatchewan also, but no fields of corn or grains.   Not sure what they grow here...  I am hoping to see the Northern Lights while up here.  🤞  I couldn't get captions on all my pictures on the last post....not sure it likes the iPad, rather me be on a desktop I think.  I really get frustrated with this site sometimes.  We've found some good hometown restaurants and had some really good food.  Thankful 😋   Will try to post some pictures from my phone.

Finally made it to North Dakota

 North Dakota was one state we have not touched our feet to the ground, so ✅that one off our bucket list.  It reminds me of Kansas in the wide open space and grain fields.  Has hugh silos in every town also.  It is pretty country and the wind was blowing but not as bad as in Kansas.

Today is Cheryl's birthday, so 🎶🎶🎶happy Birthday to you, happy birthday to you... our trike riding buddies.   Met them in the Smokies (2009) on one of our motorcycle rides..been riding trikes together ever since the Tail of the Dragon ride.

 

This morning we were trying to dodge the rain, to the east the sun was breaking through.

Plenty of farms with old barns.. great for taking pictures.  I ❤️ the old barns.

We stopped for breakfast at Paula's restaurant, was a good choice..

Unexpected pleasures...

Today's ride 8-17-17

Left this morning under gray skies promising rain.  Yep, my most dreaded riding conditions. It never rained  hard just misted but the roads were all wet with water puddling in places which always makes me nervous. We finally got out of city traffic into some wide open roads.  I LOVE the country roads and seeing the big farms with all the silos and cows.  I know this comes from being raised up in the county and from a small town.  I don't like the interstate traffic Or scenery, give me a country road any time over that, especially when you're on a motorcycle and the big semis are passing you.  Well I'm gonna try to post some pictures of today.  Hopefully I can get them on here.  We did see some ducks, geese, cows and horses.  Lol the norm.   
Staying tonight in Moorhead, MN.  Will be in North Dakota in the morning.
I've been trying to add pictures from my phone but something is not working...but I'll keep trying.  I'm not real savvy with this blogging website. 🙄🙄

It's raining here in Spring Lake Park this morning.  Gonna try to pull out around 10 or so, which I'm not looking forward to, in the rain.
I love riding but I don't like the slippery roads and the wet seat, and all the other hazards that come with the wet roads and motorcycles.   We are leaving a day earlier than planned so this day will not be such a long day.  Not sure where we will stay tonight but the next night we're suppose to be in Devils Lake North Dakota.   Will be getting a sign picture of North Dakota since this is our first time in this state.  Our friend Skip has had some health issues and we're praying he withstands this adventure without any problems.   Hoping for blue skies and sunshine.  Until later.  SarahTfromFlorida🙏🏻

On our Adventure for 2017

We left Live Oak this morning pulling our trailer with the trike in it.   Most of the time we ride it from home all the way, but this time we are going to meet up with our friends in Minnesota and from there Skip has planned our trips.  I'm excited to see new places and new faces.  Banff we will see your sites soon..  Praying for good weather, good health and good food.  😊   Thanking GOD for this opportunity ✝️🙏✝️

Weekend adventures

Went to Carrabelle Beach this weekend and found some amazing petrified stumps along the beach.

July 14 2017:  We took the motor home and stayed at Carrabelle Beach RV resort.  It's a nice camping resort with good sites.   Right acrosss the streeet is the public Beach access so it's close and easy to take a walk along the beach.   We rode into Apalachicola On Saturday and ate at Up The Stairs restaurant.  The restaurant had indoor and outdoor balcony seating, we sat inside cause is was so hot.  The food was really good, I had lump crab salad and bruschetta, delicious..   We also rode out to St. George Island and into the State Park.  St. George Island State Park is so nice and has a beautiful beach area.
