Only spent 5 nights in SK but we had a lot of fun here. We were able to hook up with my friend Pete (from University) and his family and I got MIKEY back! It’s all explained in the BLOG!

One of MANY prairie dogs at one of the rest stops we ate lunch at in SK

And then to coax him out, we did a bad thing and left him a carrot top...I think he liked it!

Historical info about Fort Walsh - why it existed and it’s significance....enough to be a National Historic site

Fort Walsh - in the middle of the prairies there are few valleys like this, great place to be sheltered from the winter cold and can you imagine just getting on a horse and riding thru this countryside? It would be awesome!

Peg, Dennis....we actually got to go inside and guess what? They had flush toilets in one of the buildings, real authentic eh? :-)

A different kind of prairie dog, I believe they’re called a 13 striped prairie dog (no chance to count and confirm though!)

HERE’S THE BEEF

Bee Balm growing up thru a Texas Gate...the prairies have surprising pockets of really pretty flowers like this

One of the nicest sunsets we’ve seen in a while...this was at our campsite in Maple Creek

Prairie biking, beautiful day but not alot to see other than what you see here, blue sky and lots of fields

There are of course, cows...Bill liked the Black Angus best!

And in spots, even wild sunflowers

Pete (my university bud), Mikey & me...ownership is now finally back in the right hands...MINE!

Out on a hike with Zack (the dog), Pete, Dave, Chris and Deanna

Celina (Pete and Deanna’s daughter), Mikey (the stuffed monkey) & Peanut ( the very large and hairy guinea pig
