Shortly after leaving Yorkton we saw 2 stone churches on a side street—one on each side of the street. They looked very similar, both had cemeteries, and grassy yards. No parking lots and it didn’t look like cars had been parking on the grass. Nor were there any signs on the churches. We made up stories of how they were used—young people in one church, old in the other; men in one, women in the other. Who knows? We’d loved to have worshipped there.
The land is still flat farmland but we can’t figure out what crops they’re growing. We’re noticing a definite difference in when the sun goes down; in fact it doesn’t seem to get really dark at night. And we’re losing satellite connection (DirecTV). I understand the TV satellites are over the equator and we’re quite far from the equator.
It rained all afternoon and the wind is really blowing hard. We stopped at North Battleford, Saskatchewan and treated ourselves to dinner out at a place called Country Cuisine. Trish, our waitress, couldn’t have been nicer, asking where we were from and where we were headed. We explained about going to see our friends in Perryvale, Alberta, the Ramsteads. The gentlemen sitting behind us, upon leaving, shook our hands and said, “welcome to Canada.” How nice of him. And Trish gave Jerry a pocketknife with the name of the restaurant on it for a Fathers’ Day gift!
We’re camped at the Town of Battleford Campground. A beautiful place for $20.00 CDN. Unfortunately it is rainy and very very windy, so no outside activities this evening.
We gassed up at Walmart here in town for $1.134 per Liter for 75.626 liters. Ouch!
