After a delightful rest and breakfast with our friends it was time to head on north.
Minot, ND – a city of Scandinavian Heritage with a Norwegian built Stave Church in the center From Underwood to Minot it is 50 miles and we had to cover another 80 miles before being at the border. The CBSA officer asked the common questions which we answered truthfully and then we were on our way into Saskatchewan.

The grain fields are stretching to the horizon and way, way out you might see a house or a farm. I imagine what life would be out here on a wintry day with a howling blizzard pounding across the open landscape.
Strong winds have blown this barn askew But the prairie has a charm of its own and people who live here would probably never wish to live anywhere else.

So what else would we be asking for.

ReplyDeleteEnjoy it.
Growing up in eastern Montana I really love those wide open spaces where you can see forever. A day of rest is one of the best things ever. Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteNope, Can't say I ever liked the Prairies. But you sure do deserve a day of rest from all that driving. BTW, I drove a whopping 97 miles today !! LOL
