Got an early start yesterday morning and hit the highway to grab a bite. Okay, once again, not camping fare...we grabbed a solid breakfast at a Perkins just east of Regina. Then decided to head a short distance south to the town of Rouleau. If you are a true Canadian, you will know that was the filming site of the highly popular sitcom Corner Gas.
Now get this, my brother and I park on the main street of the town and start walking down to the police building from the show. Another car pulls up and two people get out. The man looks really familiar to me. But the car is not from Ontario, so it can't be him. But I look again and low and behold it is one of my former bosses, the director of the Ontario Geological Survey, Andy Fyon, and his wife. How weird is that???!!! We chatted for a while and bought some souvenirs at the gift shop (which is the police station on the outside).
On the road again and heading north. We swung around Regina via Moose Jaw as the road leaving Rouleau was in a northwest direction back to the trans-Canada highway. Got in to Saskatoon early and set up camp. We visited with our uncle's brother and his wife and son for a supper. Great meal! Thanks to John, Joyce and Quinten Attwater for their welcome to the area! And to cap it off, Saskatchewan beat Montreal! Great night!
