Saskatchewan to Edmonton

We left the cabin at ridiculous o'clock because I had aspirations of making it to Edmonton by 7pm that day. We blew through Saskatchewan with a few short breaks in Saskatoon, where I waved at the town for Sam, and Lloydminster, where I waved at Wade Redden for my dad. The best thing about driving through Saskatchewan, aside from the divided highway (two lanes!!), was that with cruise control, you're barely driving, its more like steering once every 20 mins or so :P

With only one minor bump along the way - the highway was closed at one point and we had to take a big detour on a gravel country road in order to get back to the highway. This does nothing to negate the stereotypes that Canadians live in the boonies, in igloos and our main highways are dirt. Anyways, it was pretty much smooth sailing from the cabin into Edmonton. we got slowed down by some heavy fog as we left the cabin but when the sun came up it all dissipated.

I got in to Edmonton at about 5.30 and got to see Constance again! YAY! Edmonton is having a heat wave right now so it is about 30 degrees here. So we spent most of the evening sitting on the balcony having some beers and chatting before trying to fall asleep in Constance's sweat box, also known as her apartment with the broken AC.

Good day of driving all around.

I'm in Edmonton now until Sunday when Adam and I are heading to Yellowknife!!
