Easter Eggs and M&M's

On the road again, heading for Saskatoon and to cross paths for a night with Matt and Morgan! In Vegreville, we passed our first "World's Largest" monument, which Mike was nice enough to pull over long enough for me to take a few pictures:


Then an overnight stop in Vermillion, home of one of the best campgrounds so far. We were welcomed by a very earthy and spiritually aware woman who told us a little of her motorcycle adventures in India. She gave us a list of the best sites which were not yet reserved, so we took our pick. The fire pits had a swiveling stove top which had a grill, flat top, and a food warmer. We were excited to cook for ourselves again and went to the grocer to get something extra special. Steak with fresh herbs (hand-delivered all the way from Nanaimo thanks to Dominique) and grilled mushrooms and onions, coupled with Sidekicks is about as gourmet as it gets on the road. We washed it down with goon (red wine in a box - or a bag in our case) and talked around the fire until late in the night.

Huge campsite! Lots of room for friends.

Oh my, what a nice grill you have.

The next morning we had steak and eggs and coffee and set off east to meet up with Matt and Morgan in Saskatoon. Once we'd arrived at the campground, we rode around looking for something yellow...

We found them!

There was lots of hugging and laughing and storytelling and eating and drinking well into the night. We traded bikes (me on Morgan's road bike, Mike on Matt's fixed-gear, and M&M on the motorcycle) to do a short loop around the campground. We even got to meet Jazzy, Matt and Morgan's newly adopted cat, but sadly she ran away the next morning. I hope she's enjoying Saskatoon, maybe we'll hear from her yet!
