Day 13 Wainwright to Cut Knife

"Who has seen the wind" WO Mitchell 

After sailing along the roads yesterday, I sort of expected similar conditions today. But that was not to be.  We didn't see the wind but we certainly felt it in our faces as soon as we started riding eastward. It took us until about 12 noon to get to the Saskatchewan border. There the road became Hy 40 and the biking improved as the shoulder became smooth and wind shifted about 60 degrees counterclockwise to become an asset. 

A little way into Saskatchewan we lost the roller coaster road and made better progress. The road rolled a lot because this area is full potspoon lakes,which in turn were filled with ducks and geese. I saw a flock of at least 1000 snow geese in a field. No wonder that there is a generous bag limit on snow geese. Today our distance traveled was 112 km. The only alternative was to force on to North Battleford but we didn't have the energy for that. In fact Gramie had a short nap in the middle of the  afternoon. That's how she got into today's pictures.
