So, something to make my journey a tiny bit easier...

Image

The Magellan CrossoverGPS. Tied to my bars with a RAM mount and it seems to work pretty good. Hopefully I won't get lost now :roll: :roll:

I guess the big difference between myself and Blues, is the fact I don't stop to take pictures like she does. I figure I had better get that camera out and start snapping pictures.

Well, I stayed an extra night to meet up with the locals. Good food, lots of Ginger Ale, nice conversation.

Tomorrow, (Or is that later on today?) I'm heading east towards Drumheller for a short stop, then as far east as I can make it before dark. I'm going to be riding on hwy #9 then #7 into Saskatoon, then swinging over to Yorkton, Russell, Winterpeg etc. I don't exactly know how far I'll get... I'll post up as soon as I'm able

I'm heading out the door soon. After looking at the map this morning, I think this may be my goal for today. If I make it further... great, if not, who cares...

You guys too?? We're also "in need" of those items, but again, $$$ and trying to line it up all at the righttime.

Dr_bar, good stuff on your ride. I'd love to be taking dedicated motorcycle trips. Being locked up at work and tiresoome schedules between DH and myself, we're lucky to get a ride around the town in during the week.

Stay safe! 8)

I just got a message from dr_bar. He's slurping back a frap at a Starbuck's in Saskatoon.
He said it was a hot ride today.
