Rocanville Saskatchewan allegedly has the world's largest oil can. Doubt if it was ever used by anyone excepting maybe ye olde tyme pioneers who were a hardy lot.
Interesting...

I would like to get to know the Diefenbaker province... :)

Enjoyed driving across Saskatchewan and the seemingly endless miles of ....well the same thing next mile as last mile...unless..like myself, one tends to run out of gas in the middle of nowhere and then Saskatchewan countryside and the endless miles take on a new meaning.

Well, at such moments the detested National Energy Program of gentle Mr Pierre Elliott Trudeau can take on a wholly new perspective: even PetroCanada would be a welcome sight, eh? :)

I am finding my knees can't take the pounding on the pavement as well as they did in years gone by yet, in spite of my well laid travel plans, I have to wonder if my memory is going as well for at times as sure as I am that the gas station is just up and around the corner I am finding the Environmental Protection Act has caused me to rethink the planned routes I have previously traveled as old gas stations succumb to the acts regulations.

We thought about heading for Saskatchewan on our recent trip out West.

But from where we were staying it was a bit far for a day trip.

Seems like distances on the Prairies are 'telescoped'.

We saw outstanding scenery in Alberta.

Waterton Park, with Waterton Lake and the Montana peaks in Glacier Park beyond, must be one of the most awe-inspiring panoramas in the world.

The Prince of Wales Hotel must surely have one of the most desirable settings anywhere.

For a number of years I would drive to visit my in-laws in northern Ontario from the Fraser Valley in BC. The trip usually took 34 hours so if you like driving and depending on where you are in Canada a day trip to Saskatchewan might be feasible. As for telescopic distances; some prairie drivers when they get off the flat lands drive as if they are looking backwards through a telescope, figuring they have all kinds of time to pass a vehicle despite the nearness of approaching traffic. Others develop ultra magnification vision, creeping along the road hugging which ever side of the roadway is farthest away from the abyss below. Mind you the roads are a lot better then they use to be.
