Day 3 Picking up speed

After a detour to the Calgary airport to drop off one wife, one dog and two kids, the three remaining humans, one dog and two birds continued eastward, through the wheat fields and oil wells of Alberta and Saskatchewan. We stopped every few hours to get some exercise and take a few photos. The mosquitoes were waiting for us at every turn. We made it as far as Virden Manitoba that night, a little over 1000 kilometres. I was expecting miles of parking-lot flat vistas and acres of wheat fields, and was surprised at the rolling terrain and beautiful scenery.

There's a dog in there somewhere...



There he is! Frolicking through the wheat fields...
