We were all up at 5 this morning. The sun in Regina was well up as well! The benefits of no daylight saving time. The riders left and it was only just after 6 so by the time I had packed up and headed out of town, it was only 7:20. After stocking up at the grocery store I decided to treat myself to a coffee and muffin at Mcdonald's--my new best friend. Caught up with Ward and Gordon an hour later for the usual water fill-up.
Found a pretty nice picnic site at the entrance to Wolseley. Read my book for a few minutes in the SHADE before the boys arrived. We laid out our buffet lunch then noticed a Chinese family next to us who simply pulled out their rice cooker which was full of delicious-looking wraps. That seemed more simple! After lunch, we treated ourselves to our first ice cream cone of the trip. Seemed a good way to celebrate such a nice picnic site. They sure are few and far between on the prairies. After the guys left, I drove into Wolseley proper and found a lovely lake complete with fountain and a swinging bridge! Spent some time just sitting and enjoying the beauty of it. Took a picture of the very straight railway track in Wolseley and the ubiquitous grain elevators. Then onwards to Whitewood and the usual roadside motel. Not much to this town but had a little bike ride around it and bought a bottle of white wine for Ward at the Pharmasave! Supper to-night was at Archie's Diner nearby. It felt like being in an episode of Corner Gas. Brandon to-morrow.
