What a ride so far! We left home 2 days ago spending the first night in Medicine Hat. We stayed at Gas City Campground which was fairly nice and didn't have a SINGLE mosquito - they were all married with families! Yesterday morning I got up in search of a place to power walk or jog and I wasn't let down. Scott's guess was that I did about 6-7km... it the HOT out and there was no reprieve from the sun but man it felt good to get out and move like that.
We headed for Caronport Sask yesterday and about 30km before arriving, a passerby on the highway gestured madly at our trailer. Scott got us stopped and headed out for a look noticing that we'd had a tire blow-out. We had no idea when that might of happened but we definitely have some damage. Not only did we need a new tire but we needed someone to repair the wire that got snapped by the flapping rubber. We have many reasons to express our gratitude to God for even this incident; it could have been so much worse.
We spent the night at Latrace's farm last night and it was GREAT to connect with them again. They live 2 miles outside of Caronport- she was my Counselor when I attended Caronport High School in grade 12 (one or two years ago) and we hit it off. I haven't seen her or her husband in about 25 years, though we've stayed in touch and it was so nice to reconnect with them. Emily said she wants to spend the whole summer there next year - something about great company, kittens and the Latrace grandsons who live in another house on the same yard.
We're in Brandon Manitoba for the night and tomorrow we head south for Larimore North Dakota. Good thing Scott remembered our passports!
