Day 17
July 6th, 2008
Current Location: Swift Current

Today we traveled from Gulf Lake to a town called Herbert (well sort of). After reaching Herbert we ended up driving 50km back west to Swift Current. This was so that we could stay with Maureen Schwarz’s mother, Anne. She was a really nice host. She expected us to come to come the following day, so she was caught a little off guard.

Alberta’s roads > Saskatchewan’s roads.

I have come to the conclusion that the roads in Alberta are far superior to the roads in Saskatchewan. Brett and I had a really bumpy ride following Kelly and Vanessa on the shoulders of HWY 1. The shoulders were covered by a surprisingly large amount of dead mammals and bits & pieces of destroyed tires. I have also come to the conclusion that people tend to exaggerate about the flatness of the roads of Saskatchewan (but I might be biased due to the bumpy roads).
