Thrills and spills




On leaving Kyle the first place we passed was the town of White Bear.


This was the first mud that we came to and I managed to get through without any help despite sinking the back wheel practically up to the axle.


At the next mud Alex had to rescue Crazy the DRZ440s




On the map these are actually shown as roads but most of the time they are overgrown, deep in mud or not there but you do have a right of way.


Another free ferry across the Saskatchewan River


Riding a motorcycle along deep ruts when you have ATV impaired balance can cause a few problems and allow Crazy to show her acrobatic routine.  Though it looks staged she actually landed upside down and managed to stay there without falling over.






and this time it was due to sand in the ruts and at the end of a long day when my attention span was significantly shortening.


This is an antelope but why is it that a deer 30m away from the road gets spooked but will always run across the road about 5m in front of you?  It is one of the great mysteries of the world.

We camped at Maple Creek at a very friendly campsite.
