Day 7

Day 7 was among my favorite of my whole trip to Saskatchewan.  Morgan, Rebecca and I got our fishing gear packed after a few hours of trying to pry Morgan out of her bed.  Rebecca brought along a Barbecue so when we got to Simmie, we fired up some dogs.  We mainly just sat in the sun, fished, sun tanned and swam.  It was fun as Hell.  

On our way to Simmie we stopped at Simmie Bible Camp to have a visit with Kjell Anderson who had been counselling there.  Instead we found Jumo Mizu.  I hadn't seen Justin in quite a while so it was good to get a hug from him.  He's in Thailand right now I believe, so he's keeping himself quite busy.

If I remember correctly, I caught two fish, Morgan caught two and Rebecca caught one.  It was a successful day as far as angling went.  The water was nice and warm so we spent a lot of time swimming around the dock.  Here are the photos...

Day 5-6

Day 5 arrived with a good morning in my old bed. I made my rounds downtown and visited old fellow employees at the Co-op and I stopped in at Penny's store for a chat. I visited Jenna at Prairies Portraits and Nick at The Source. Nick wasn't in, but they told me he'd be going to Eastend to do a service on a dish.

I called Nick and he came and picked me up and I was his apprentice for the afternoon. He was scaling a HOT rooftop for most of the afternoon and I hung out and helped wherever I could.

After a long hot afternoon we headed back to Shaunavon and I went home. That night my neighbour Morgan and I had a sleep over. It was pretty much a facebook fest'. We had 300 playing on one monitor and both our laptops on our laps all setup on her bed. I enjoyed it as it's nearly impossible to not enjoy that movie and spying on people's facebook profiles.

We slept in for the morning and for the afternoon we went and found Rebecca. The three of us had a fun tour of the Shaunavon Museum and art exhibit.

The next day we decided we would go to Simmie for a fishing trip.

Day 4

By Day 4 I was on my way to Shaunavon, finally. I left Chris' and started the on route to Shaunavon. Again I tried to race the clock and make it there in as short amount of time as possible on the Nighthawk. I made the trip with haste. Unfortunately Brembles was subject to a fatal dismount while I was passing a semi on the windy #3 HWY from Lethbridge to Taber. I didn't bother turning around to pick the little bear up, because it would have been a long search I didn't want to waste the effort on.

So as I headed through the familiar towns of southern Alberta such as Taber (Jared's Hometown!!) and Seven Persons, I decided to stop for a break at Canada's best butchery. When my Dad use to long haul with his semi he would stop in Seven Persons and buy us a bunch of fresh jerky and sausage from the Seven Persons Premium Sausage Inc. Butcher's shop. I had my delicious pork sausage and continued on.

When I got to Medicine Hat I knew I was almost home. The ride was still extremely windy. I made it to Gull Lake and gave Jenna a call on my cell. I told her I'd see her in 14 minutes (usually a 30 minute drive from GL to S). And I did exactly that. When I got home, I went and visited my new next door neighbours, the Cowans. Morgan and her Fam Jam had recently moved from their farm and into town. I visited with Jenna, her new dog Layla, Morgan, Gary, and Lorie. After that I went into the house and hung out with my Mom. She was happy to see I made it home safely.

I forget what I did that night. Probably just went on the computer and stayed up late.... End of Day 4.

Day 3

By Day 3 I was headed to go see Chris in Lethbridge.  I left the mountains around Waterton at about 10:00am or so.  The ride was still windy as hell, but it was one of the better highways I've ridden so far.  Very straight, and very clean.  It was another good oportunity to see how fast my bike goes.  The verdict:  Not fast enough (193 km/hr).  Brembles was holding on for his life, me too.

When I arrived at the Widdifield house, I chilled with Brad, Deb and Carianne until Chris got home.  They fed me and kept me company, because Chris didn't get home for another 45 minutes.  He rode like hell to get back home though, once his Mom called and said I arrived.

We cruised around Lethbridge for a while, he showed me where he worked and some of the houses he had done electrical work in.  We had supper at The Shark Club.  After that we headed back home, hung out, then went to The Simpsons Movie later on.

The next morning we took our bikes out for a little rip down Whoop Up and I got the chance to take the RR for a ride.  I was
 too scared to do anything fun on it.

I only have a couple pictures from going to see Chris, here they are...

Day 2

Right now it's probably like, day 300 of my vigorous bike trip through to Saskatchewan.  My ass is getting ridiculously sore and my back hurts.  Tree planting took  a round out of me for sure, but it only preppared me for anything and everything I'll be doing in the future.  So this ride seems like a breeze compared to my summer up north.

All bitching aside, I'll explain the photos...

Day 2 consisted of Craig and I leaving Creston, BC (I think) and riding on through the Crowsnest Pass, through Frank Slide and onto Waterton.  Before my Dad and I road into Waterton Park, we checked out the Pincher Creek Show & Shine.

Once we got into Waterton, pretty much all of my Dad's side of the family was there.  It was a nice time hanging with the family.

The moment we got there, Craig and I went for a dip in this cold-ass lake.  It was defenitely refreshing after a few hot hours on the bikes.

Day 1

So, after we visited Brandon at his work, Craig and I road from Kelowna thismorning to Nelson, BC and road north to ferry that crosses Kootenay Lake.  It's the world's longest free ferry.  Itwas a decent ride on the boat with some great scenery.  When we got off the ferry we rode for a little longer until we hit Creston BC.  I was too tired (from staying up way too late last night) to go on, so Craig got us a hotel room and now I'm here.

I took a few pictures, but this internet that I'm stealing says I can't upload them to my Blogger.  I'll try and get them up here later on.

To Waterton tomorrow to visit the fam jam...

Brembles Is Ready...

I'm gonna do one of those deals where I take stupid pictures of this bear in random locations along my trip.  I'm pretty much th eonly person to ever do this since the history of photography.  Basicallly...

Kent And Craig's Excellent Adventure

My Dad and I are leaving for Waterton tomorrow on our motorcycles.  We've been busy today prepping the birds (his Goldwing, my Nighthawk) for the ride.  

I just got a new laptop, so I figgured I might as well put its mobility to good use.  I'll be taking my camera and cell phone to get some photographic records of our trip and whenever we stop for a break I'll hook up to a WiFi hotspot and throw them onto this new Blog.

Feel free to keep checking up on my progress because once we get to Waterton I'll be leaving my Dad and heading to Lethbridge and Calgary and then to Saskatchewan to visit as many people as I can.  I don't expect this to be too fascinating, but I want to give it a try anyway (the whole documentation of my trip that is).

Thanks, see ya later.
