June 9, 2025 - Driving to Alaska
|
||||||
| We drove all day today -- roughly eight hours -- all headed due west on the Trans-Canada Highway (Highway One). It was great plains all the way. | ||||||
 |
||||||
|
After an hour or so we left Manitoba and entered Saskatchewan. Whoo Hoo!
|
||||||
 |
||||||
| Some kind of salt dunes. | ||||||
 |
||||||
|
|
||||||
 |
||||||
| Otherwise, pretty flat. | ||||||
 |
||||||
| At least it was four-lane highway. | ||||||
 |
||||||
| We pass a double-decker container freight train coming the other way. | ||||||
 |
||||||
|
We enter rolling hill country.
|
||||||
 |
||||||
 |
||||||
|
|
||||||
 |
||||||
|
After about seven hours we crossed another province border. Now we're in Alberta.
|
||||||
 |
||||||
| Shortly thereafter we entered the town of Medicine Hat where we would spend the night. | ||||||
 |
||||||
| There was plenty of daylight left so Lynnette and I went to a little park called The Heights Lookout and walked around. The park overlooked Medicine Hat town center and the South Saskatchewan river which runs through it. | ||||||
 |
||||||
| A better look at the South Saskatchewan River. | ||||||
