Last night while we were watching TV we heard this ssssss. I jumped up to see my back tire go completely flat! It sure was good timing as we could put a new tube in outside our rooms. The tube had suddenly just blown in the area around the valve.

The last picture in the film is to show what one meter paved shoulder looks like. We sure enjoyed it for a change. The picture also shows that we have entered the pre-Cambrian shield. We have now left the fields behind, there is nothing but forest, and we’ve seen a few large flat rocks in the ditch. Dad also saw a black bear lying in the grass of the ditch. I missed it.

We have seen a lot of dead animals and a few birds on the highway as we’ve cycled across. The saddest was two beautiful deer lying on the side of the road. There are many signs warning of deer, but they dart out so quickly — we managed to see only one dashing across in Saskatchewan.
