Sorry you didn’t get another Saskatchewan update, we didn’t have inter­net or cell ser­vice at all, except when I posted the last one.

Nei­ther Brian or I have posted any pho­tos of this trip yet (I know, we suck) — but luck­ily we were trav­el­ling with Ian and Susan, who are both extremely tal­ented pho­tog­ra­phers. And they actu­ally post their stuff right away! So, if inter­ested, please check out their stuff below:

Ian’s Road Trip Pho­tos
Susan’s Road Trip Pho­tos — I also highly rec­om­mend Susan’s Chip­munk video in here — it’s impos­si­ble not to laugh along!

Next up, Van­cou­ver this week­end for a No Doubt con­cert — but I have to admit I may not even take my lap­top… Haven’t decided yet.

As well, an extra lit­tle bit of inter­est­ing info, Brian and I have found the Westy we’re going to buy! Every­thing won’t be final for a cou­ple of weeks due to con­flict­ing sched­ules, but we’ve shaken on it, and we’re really excited. It’s dark brown, 1985, has a Sub­aru engine, so it’s got a few more ‘guts’ than some of them. Also a bit of a lift and big­ger tires. All the bet­ter to tackle those BC roads, I say! Any­way, we’re super-stoked. And though exhausted and crav­ing hyber­na­tion, we also can’t WAIT to get it and take it out on the road! We have yet to come up with a name, but we’ll have to name it. The only name it really had with the pre­vi­ous own­ers was “Root­beer”, but Brian’s not a fan of the name. He says the name needs to be Ger­man… So, any ideas?

We have been in Saskatchewan for 3 days, we’ll be wan­der­ing back home tomor­row. We have had absolutely no inter­net (or even cell) for most of our trip.

We’ve been dri­ving around explor­ing and tak­ing pho­tos of ghost towns in South West Saskatchewan. Stayed in Moose Jaw on Thurs­day night, Assini­boia on Fri­day night, and then Moose Jaw on Sat­ur­day night again.

We’re tak­ing a gazil­lion pho­tos and we’ll post some at some point. But not tonight. We’ve been dri­ving and walk­ing around in the sun all day (and toured a brick fac­tory), and now we’re all tired in bed. Actu­ally, Brian has been asleep for an hour. And I’m jeal­ous! So I’m going to sleep now.

Oh, and please excuse the mess that is our “most recent adven­ture” map cur­rently… I’ll fix it soon. But for now you’ll have to scroll over to see the details of where we’ve been. It’s also very unfin­ished. I haven’t traced in our route yet, and I haven’t marked all our stops yet.

That’s all for now, until I get iner­net again (prob­a­bly from home, tomor­row evening).
