There's about 300 km between here and Green Lake - depending on the roads you choose. My favourite is of course, the scenic route, the route less travelled. As you can see, some roads along the way are much less travelled than others. It was here, along this road on my last trip, that I saw a bobcat. Unfortunately, there were no cats this time. Perhaps there was too much traffic. I must have passed at least five logging trucks along
the way!It was a beautiful day and driving conditions couldn't have been better . . . for most of the trip, that is. The end of the road is getting a much needed overhaul - literally, as you can see. There were CATs and earth-movers a plenty to see here. At the end of my journey was Green Lake, along with Cumberland House, one of the oldest communities in Saskatchewan. In spite of it's history as a trading hub, Green Lake is a community in decline. A fine, well maintained, and modern school, now maintains only a shadow of it's previous enrollment. Pictures of students past line the halls, history in pictures more than 120 years old.
Since there are no accommodations for me here, I spend the night north in Beauval and travel south each day to Green Lake. In all, I will travel almost 1000 km before the week is done.
