Me and Ilsa are doing a little skeedaddle out west for a couple weeks. So far it's been the trip from hell, and hell has frozen over. The past two days I've covered about 1300 miles in temperatures that never got above 40 degrees. Today it never got above 36 and when I checked into the hotel in Swift Current, Saskatchewan it was feckin' snowing.
Earlier in the day I passed through Miami. The weather was nice and sunny and 33 degrees. Miami, Manitoba that is. A few miles up the road I passed a field where two crows were harassing a bald eagle. I stopped, but before I could get my camera out the crows took off, leaving the eagle who hung around long enough to get a photo.
A few more miles down the road I stopped at a reservation gas station where I was greeted by a very friendly dog that had to be part Siberian Husky. He had blue eyes and the characteristic curled tail, but his face sure wasn't that of a husky, and neither were the ears.
Weather forecast is for up to 12 inches of snow in Banff tomorrow and Tuesday, so now I have to make plans to head back to the States and find some other way to get to the West Coast of Washington and Oregon.
