Slow Canada

It's not just the reduced speed limits or extensive range of the southern Provinces that may make it seem like it's taking longer than usual to move towards Tuk.
There's the interesting and cool stops to explore local flora, fauna, and culture plus our abhorrence of major thoroughfares. But mostly it's the great people we meet along the way...
Took us 3 hours to cross Saskatoon with several stops at brew pubs and fishing shops for provisions. Great little city, but it ain't That big!

Local provisioning 

Shut down at a motor inn in North Battleford, backed the rig up to the door and headed for a bite and beer in the pub. Ended up spending 4 hours chatting, laughing and learning from Anthony and Jake, long haul operators, plus everyone else in the bar. From Peterbilts to crops to fishing and hunting to aircraft to taxes and politics, we covered it all! Biggest challenge was fighting over who got the next round. Even met a guy from Manchester who when he heard my people were Liverpudlian broke out some scouse!
Real people in the real world. Consensus was the vast majority of politicians don't get us...
Listening to the Canada geese and chatting with a raven are fun, but learning from locals builds memories.
