A Week in Saskatchewan

I spent the week out in the Meadow Lake, SK area. Although the forecast kept threatening rain, we only got some the Monday night and the rest of the week was pretty good. A canola crop freshly harvested, it sits for 18 days before they collect it.

I’ve never stayed at the Nor’Wester Motor Inn, although I’ve bought expensive beer from the Cold Beer store and have eaten at the restaurant once.

Day 5: Sea Kayaking

Today we packed up from our first cottage and headed to Norris Point to do a sea kayaking tour with Gros Morne Adventures. The guided tour was 2 hours and goes out onto Bonne Bay.

The kayaks were setup so the person in the back had to steer with their feet.

Angela was steering for her and Gillian.

I was in a single.

When we got back on the Viking Trail we saw our first moose. It was at the side of the road, and it started walking along the side before going down a side road and disappeared.

We headed back to Deer Lake to get some groceries before heading to our second cottage in the south end of the park.

Angela thought we were done with these types of photos.

After dinner we headed out for a drive to Woody Point.

The lighthouse, built in 1959, the original lighthouse was first built in 1919.

We are staying at the Middle Brook Cottages in Glenburnie.

This is Middle Brook.

The brook is located next to the cottages. This is an old bridge, the newer bridge is in the distance.
