Except this province seems to be ridiculously lame. Half hour after crossing from Manitoba into Saskatchewan, there was snow. Then the roads started getting horribad, cracked and rough condition. But I get to Regina... and end up going through 6 hotels before I find one with a vacant room. A smoking room. Wheeee! Lame. So I check in anyways, go out for dinner to a nearby pub, and their draught taps are broken! Bah! No draught beer in a brew-pub! And the longer I sat in there, the more I worried I was going to be losing my braincells due to so many... rednecks, for lack of a better term.
So far, I rank Saskatchewan as my least liked Canadian province.... pffft, they dont even have any mountains! You cant have a province without a mountain!
Tomorrow, I should end up in Golden, BC. Then... a trip through the rockies! Hurrah! Just hope I can make it, so long as it doesnt snow too much... hrmnph!

I've never lived in Canada, but I did live 60 miles (100 km) from Saskatchewan. It's just as lame on my side of the bourder over there.
