We started out today headed for Malta, Montana to top up on propane, fill the gas tank and then continue on to the border.  We will be camping in CANADA tonight and I will be sooo glad to get back into our own country.  It is always soooo nice to be back home.
The border crossing was uneventful and we were on our way within 10 or 15 minutes.
The weather looked anything but inviting as there were huge ugly storm clouds hanging around and it looked like we were headed right into the heart of the storm.
Of course the road conditions had not improved and we bumped along weaving right and left to avoid the worst of the potholes.   Man, how does this road not rate "the worst road in Saskatchewan" title!!
It wasn't too long before we saw bolts of lightning and soon the wind and the rains came.  It was quite nasty and I was certainly glad when we finally got to Swift Current and saw blue skies and white cumulus clouds.  Could this mean that we were going to have a nice evening??
We camped at the equestrian campground at Saskatchewan Landing.  It is a lovely area and was awesome for the peace and tranquility.  There was even wood for a nice fire and at $18.00 a night, it was a steal of a deal.
John built a fire and we settled around it like a couple of fire and smoke hungry fools.  It had been so long since we had a real fire that I am sure we were having smoke inhalation withdrawal!!
Booko was loving the open area and roamed freely for the rest of the evening.  Our only hope was that he did not encounter a skunk or a porcupine!!  The ruffed grouse, well, we didn't really have to worry about him!!
The surrounding trees were full of very happy birds and they sat around singing and entertaining us all evening.  We even got to hear the "yapping" of the area coyotes!!  Booko heard them too but couldn't be bothered to even getting out of his lawn chair.  He was snuggled under the "batman" blanket and was warm and cozy!!
Saturday night meant steak night and baked potatoes  AND, since Kay was not with us..... a can of Bush Brown Beans (she really hates them)!!  Not that she ever stopped us from open a can!!  LOL
Supper was delicious and that it was our first steak back in Canada....well that made it even more special!!
Tomorrow, we will be at the farm and one step closer to being "home".   Life, truly is Good!!

Headed out

Naturally!

This is how you drive on Sask roads!
