RHYMES WITH TRUCK

Out of Manitoba: one day. Out of Saskatchewan: one day. Flat land that seems to be running downhill; but it is only the curved surface of the planet. Pushing on, using minor roads and rolling through small towns; most with a campground, some neat and tidy, some neglected and overgrown.
I head for something different: Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park, an oasis of hills and forest that was missed by the last Ice Age. Expensive, with park entry fee on top of campsite fee. One of the disadvantages of lone-rider travel. The site is big enough for four.
