A 9:00 start with sunny and blue sky -- nice. Oh, oh --- we just started and the rain clouds appeared in the south -- rain gear time -- a nice rain storm (no mud!!!). Managed to find a really bad road (50 km) with lots of pot holes to be avoided -- tiresome; Sask. seems to have a number of roads in relatively bad shape -- what we heard from others and certainly our experience --- noticed a major improvement once we crossed the border into Alberta. What views on the road -- this is definitely 'big sky' country. Lots of deer and newly formed lakes. Since we have been travelling much further north than planned (actually somewhat NE of Calgary), we headed south to Lethbridge to visit with Susan's cousin Sheila and husband Ray. Got in about 7:00pm. Great to see Ray and Sheila again, and they provided accommodation to the three of us for a couple of nights -- a nice rest not having to be on the road again. However, riding time is always on the schedule! 784 km today.
