First up, I stopped in Neepawa, Manitoba for gas and saw the sign indicating that house where author Margaret Laurence grew up was just around the corner. I couldn't pass up the opportunity to at least drive by it. And I was afraid of riding by it if it wasn't well signed.
I also FINALLY found a relatively safe place to pull over where there is a hard shoulder. Yup, I'm on the Yellowhead Highway heading west towards Yorkton. I didn't realize that there are two Trans Canada Highways out in the west. The first is the southern route and the northern route. The Yellowhead is the northern route and goes from Portage la Prairie up through Jasper. The southern route goes through Banff.
I crossed over into Saskatchewan but didn't realize until this morning that I'd crossed into Mountain Time. It would be nice if they put up a sign to let us tired travelers know these thing. Of course Saskatchewan is the only province that doesn't participate in daylight savings, so it is difficult to know whether or not to move the clock or not.
