Day 8: Swift Current, SK Sunny and warm, with mosquitoes. Going across the Canadian prairie into Alberta. Saw several prairie dogs, mostly tiny furry dead splotches on the road, but a couple were sitting along the road, straight and tall as their tiny bodies could be. They are smaller than squirrels. I remembered them being... Continue Reading →
