More popular than McDonalds. They are most known for coffee and donuts. The food was great We tried blueberry fritters cinnamon rolls apple fritters and a Boston creme. From there we headed off across the prairie to the Province of Saskatchewan. http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Canada/Saskatchewan/Prince-Albert-National-Park/blog-529308.html The day we left Thompson was a nice one it had rained. One of the first rains we got on this trip. The hotel we stayed at was run by a First Nations group. They are Cree. It was awesome. We took a different route and totally bypassed The Pas because it was a short trip lol for us. It was hrs to The Pas. So we went on to Prince Albert Sask. We got into PA late lol I'm not going to say it lo http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Canada/Saskatchewan/Prince-Albert-National-Park/blog-439986.html We hiked several trails today starting early in the day to see as much as we could. We started with Shady Lake trail billed as a moderate terrain 1.7 km loop. Then there is a 1 km spur trail taking you to a lookout tower called Height of the Land. Sounded easy. Boy was I wrong I walk every day and this walk just about did me in It took us almost 2 hours from start to finish you c http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Canada/Saskatchewan/Prince-Albert-National-Park/blog-427933.html I have a week off of work and the weather is supposed to be cool and rainy all week so we decided to get in the car and go somewhere where it is sunny. It seems counterintuitive but the forecast says it will be nice and sunny in the north. So we have decided to head north. Waskesui Lake in Prince Albert National Park is a favorite summer vacation spot for lots of Saskatchewan folks.

We trokken uit het park via het noorden van het park zo hadden we toch 3 van de 4 kanten gezien en hadden we misschien het geluk om nog iets te spotten. Na 30km was het zover we geloofden onze ogen niet maar er zat daar een Eland rustig langs de weg te drinken uit e http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Canada/Saskatchewan/Prince-Albert-National-Park/blog-424210.html Day 25. 9688Km.Half way to Christmas.Somewhere along the way the street lights went horizontal again.I stayed off the Trans Canada Highway again today. No particular reason. I went North to Canora across to Watson up to Melford and across to Prince Albert.
