2011 CHURCHILL OR BUST DAY 3 REGINA

We left Medecine Hat, on our way to Regina, this morning to a hot day on the bike crossing the Canadian great plains. Lots of farm lands where water is available, but also lots of dessert and salt lakes. We traveled 288 miles today and I guess the most exiciting thing that really happend was a visit with old "Bullwinkel" (pictures below). Yep the little guy is located right off the highway in none other than the town of "Moose Jaw", hey this Canada. Sort of like Snake Pit and Sea Lion Caves in the United States. All good mindless fun, we are having a good time. Speed limits up here are slooooowww! I don't know how these folks manage going a whole 110 KM/HR when they have to move 300 miles in a straight line. But plenty of mounties around so we limit it to an occasional outburst to shake the highway dull drums out. Really it doesn't matter how fast you go here, even at 140 MPH you can't tell your moving, there is simply no reference point, so we do the hokey pokey.
