Moose Jaw Travel Blogs

Background: A land of vast distances and rich natural resources, Canada became a self-governing dominion in 1867 while retaining ties to the British crown. Economically and technologically the nation has developed in parallel with the US, its neighbor to the south across an unfortified border. Canada's paramount political problem is meeting public demands for quality improvements in health care and education services after a decade of budget cuts. The issue of reconciling Quebec's francophone heritage with the majority anglophone Canadian population has moved to the back burner in recent years; support for separatism abated after the Quebec government's referendum on independence failed to pass in October of 1995.

We’re in Moose Jaw, and I thought I’d send these pictures. We should cross the border tomorrow, and we’re just praying we don’t have any problems there. [View Full Entry]

IF AT FIRST YOU DON’T SUCCEED... Saturday, 23 June 2007 Took Silver out today, as I REALLY wanted to locate the TransCanada Trail in Moose Jaw, and I wasn’t sure how rough it would be. It would pretty much be my last chance to do so, as we’re leaving for Regina on Sunday. Needless to say I completely botched up the first times I tried to locate it. I rode directly from our motel to where I though it would be & in fact found a large sign which seemed to indicate I should turn left at the next corner. I [View Full Entry]

NICOLLE WHO? Friday, 22 June 2007 Today we were all going to go to Buffalo Pound Provincial Park, named after the structures used by the natives to confine or trap buffalo ‘way back when. (I imagine they were something like the chutes used today for bringing in cattle from pasture) Using Blue I went ahead of Bob & Panna, who opted for some exercise & errands before meeting up with me. The road conditions were fine, not like yesterday’s winds, and I was 2/3 the way there by the time they passed me. As we weren’t 100% sure if I could [View Full Entry]

Pilgrimage to Rouleau Thursday, 21 June ‘07 Today we all went to Rouleau. Rouleau, Saskatchewan is the site where “Corner Gas” is filmed, at least the outdoor scenes. Corner Gas is a Canadian comedy show, about life in a very small rural town called “Dog River”. It could really be almost any small rural town, in Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, or any such place where agriculture is the mainstay & those who aren’t farmers have a pretty minor role in the general scheme of things. It’s one of our favorite shows. Anyway, it certainly seemed like a rea [View Full Entry]

Two Bikes in One Day Wednesday 20 June ‘07 Day 2 was again nice & sunny. Bob drove me to Keeler, from where I intended to bike back to Moose Jaw. Again I was using Silver, this time because Bob had some small work to do on the blue bike and this way he could get it done. It started out OK, but I was troubled by a squeaking which had begun on Tuesday & which was continuing. On a bicycle, if you’re hearing squeaking, it usually means something’s rubbing, which can really add to the effort needed and possibly damage [View Full Entry]

I GUESS SASKATCHEWAN DOES HAVE HILLS! Tuesday, 19 June ‘07 Well, today was the starting day for the Super60 Cycle Tour. Up to now we’d been planning, getting stuff ready and travelling to the start-off point (Moose Jaw). Today would be Day 1 - FINALLY!! Last night Bob & I discussed the routes I might take. Bob really wants to know where I’ll be in case there’s a problem. At home I’d mapped out a route which would have avoided the principal roads, but they don’t seem to be as busy as around Ottawa, so I decided I’d rather use the [View Full Entry]

Of ticks and prairie dogs Friday, 19 June 2007 A brief interlude here to mention the ticks and prairie dogs that are very prevalent here. We first became aware of the ticks in Moosomin, on our way out. To be honest, I had one in my underwear, not exactly what I wanted to discover. Needless to say, I’ve been a bit paranoid since then. And so has Bob - he woke up one morning here in Moose Jaw to find one on his pillow! Panna too has picked up numerous ticks, which we’ve picked off her, usually before they settle in.

AND ON TO MOOSE JAW Monday, 18 June ‘07 The last of our travelling days started off rainy & cool. I put in one last exercise ride on the bike, travelling from the motel thru the town streets to a county road, dirt & gravel, and returned via another paved road to the motel, only about 17 km, took about an hour. Meanwhile Bob made sure Panna had some exercise at one of the local parks. We then loaded up Casper & hit the road. It was very, VERY wet. According to the motel owner, the previous 24 hours when we [View Full Entry]
