Edmonton, Saskatoon....driving, driving, driving....

Woke up early to Otis barking at the caretaker of the campgrounds I was staying at in Swan Hills! It was 5:30 am! At first I thought it was some kind of wild animal (bear, maybe) and then I saw the flashlight and knew a bear wouldn't be carrying a flashlight! At least I know, Otis will protect me!

Breakfast, a short walk and packed up the tent tent to head into Edmonton. (At least West Edmonton Mall). Lots of construction when I got onto the Yellowhead Highway. Before I got there, I saw a deer and some captive bison along the road!

Got to the mall around noon and enjoyed walking through---looking at the waterpark (looked like fun, but needed my buddy, Sam to enjoy it with me), the amusement park, small and the hockey rink. I actually thought I would try the trampoline, but no one was there! At least I can now say, I saw the West Edmonton Mall.

Back on the road again, enjoying the scenery. Lots of harvesting being done, and dust blowing everywhere! Yellow, beige, green....beautiful! and you really can see for miles.

Did you know the whooping crane and the sandhills crane, migrate in the Saskachewan area...would be sweet to see one! Who knows!

Found a campground in Saskatoon. Managed to get the tent set up, as the sun was setting (Saskachewan is on standard time) and the moon was rising! In all, a good day!
