Monday 3rd October 2022

Next stage of our journey, we jumped back on to the #1 Canadian Highway, heading West. Destination Maple Creek. (138km 1hr 20mins)

Refuelling at Maple Creek at the increased price from $1.639 to $1.699. (by the time we left on the 5th it was $1.739)

Arrived early so went shopping!!! Ha lol, Cowboy country here so the best shop was Hills Country Clothing, best hats and boots in town!! 

Outside St Marys and inside St Marys with interim minister Rev Nancy Yee. 

A quick tour of the church and rectory, and then we had lunch together. Sharing our stories.

Next we went to meet our hosts for the next two nights: Ed and Carol Bath. Ed, a reader, welcomed us into their home and helped us settle in. We then took a trip out to Cypress Hills and their summer cabin. Set in this vista of trees and rolling hills. A walk (3km) with Ed showed us the river/creek heading south, through the area. The trees starting to turn to the 'fall' colours

An evening meal at the Cypress Hills resort and back to Maple Creek for sleep.
