Day 29

Happy Canada Day. Finished of what was left of the prairies. Crossed the rest of Saskatchewan and all of Manitoba before stopping just inside of Ontario (900 KM). Manitoba has trees, but there is very little to see on the highway in Saskatchewan except fields. Now that I am in Ontario there are lots of lakes along the highway. However, there is zero cell coverage in most places, including the motel I am at tonight so this will have to be sent in the morning. Saw a moose and a couple deer lingering near the side of Highway 17. Decided it was best to stop at the first motel before it got too close to sunset and they start planning their attack. Reminds me, saw lots of prairie dogs, both kinds, [dead and alive :)] along the way today.

The current plan is to drive to Marathon or Wawa tomorrow, then somewhere on Highway 6 on the island Friday. Then I should be able to take the ferry across to the Bruce and make it to my cottage on Saturday, and relax a little. Drive home Sunday afternoon and go into work Monday.
