Saskatchewan Fields Forever

Here's a brief summary of the next couple of days:

 

The only problem with all these lovely fields and crops was that it didn't exactly do wonders for Mike's allergies. Anyone who's ever tried sneezing while trying to keep your eyes open knows that it's impossible, so we decided against continuing East through Saskatchewan (and more fields) and instead began heading South towards North Dakota.

We stayed in Moose Jaw along the way, and since the campgrounds were full we got a room at Capone's Hideaway.

Oddly enough, there were many Al Capone-themed places in Moose Jaw...

Notice the fancy leopard print couch (there were two of them).

Next stop, the Canada/US border at which we had two of our three cases inspected. But once she saw that we really did only have camping gear with us we carried on to the all-inclusive (they had wifi! and a free shower token per night!) Roughrider campground in Minot.

First group shot of the trip!

More motorcycle wisdom:

#3. Smells are a lot stronger on a motorcycle than in a car, even with a full face helmet. Smells like rain, or cows... No where is this more apparent than in Saskatchewan.

#4. The most motorcycle-friendly hairstyle for long hair is a braid. As glamorous as it may seem to have your hair flying out behind you, I quickly learned that your hair turning into a giant pile of knots is not so glamorous.
