Still it felt more like being on holiday as it was a beautiful clear day, the speed limit had increased to 110 and the gas price was falling again as we approached the oil fields.
It was important to have a GPS so we didn't get lost.
Strange looking white lakes appear along the route. At first we assumed this was snow/ice but didn't seem likely with temperatures in the 60s. These actually turned out to be salt lakes. 
Man Walking across Canada ?
Its difficult to see from the picture but there was someone pushing a cart along the highway about halfway between Regina and Calgary. Looked like he was in it for the long haul. Wow.

As Kim put it "Canadian radio blows...".
As an impartial observer I would have to agree with this statement based on the empirical evidence. It seems that reason lies in the Canadian goverment policy that requires all domestic radio stations to devote some percentage of songs to Canadian bands/artists. The effect of this is that the radio stations are stuck playing over and over again a few hits from Canadian 'b' artists that never really made it outside Canada. I guess the idea is to enable a few people (the artists) to benefit economically at the expense of 30 million people (aka the Canadians). It partially explains why 90% of Canadians live within a few miles of the US border.
