After a restful 4 hours of sleep I rolled out of the truck, brushed my teeth at the picnic table while Z sniffed the local message boards. Spike wasn’t too sure about all this and stayed in the truck.
I hopped back on Highway 16 and headed west. The country out here is flat farmland and extremely boring. No offense to the locals. A couple of gas stops and sandwiches later we pulled into Saskatoon. Now, yours truly forgot to write down the address and phone number for the Motel 6 he was staying at since he thought he was going to have internet at his last stop. So, Saskatoon isn’t a huge town, but it’s big enough. I think I did the city loop about twice before I made some random turns heading out of town and was pulling into a Husky gas station to ask directions when I noticed the Motel 6 sign behind it. Excellent!!! It was even the right road out of town, so I wouldn’t have to drive back through downtown the next day!
Motel 6 in Saskatoon was very nice. Sure, it’s a little cheaper then a Holiday Inn, but the water was warm, the sheets clean and the staff friendly. Parking was great with plenty of room. I got Z and Spike unpacked into the room, took a shower, checked my email and hit the hay. I slept like the dead and didn’t wake up until the next morning.
