Southern Saskatchewan

Well after managing to get a few hours sleep we headed south to Regina. First stopping in Moose Jaw, a quirky little town. We did a tour of the Tunnels which ran under the streets and along the train tracks, in which it is claimed Al Capone ran his bootlegging business during the US Prohibition. Though there is dispute over whether he actually came here.
Afterwards we headed onto Regina, Saskatchewan's capital for the night.
Today we headed out to Indian Head and along the Qu'Appelle Valley which was quite wierd as one minute you're driving along the flat prairies then all of a sudden you go down a hill and wind alongside 4 lakes and around roads quite similar to the country roads in NZ.
We have also been seeing a few wooden grain elevators from both the train and the road. These used to be really prominent in the Prairies but have been systematically torn down and replaced by new concrete and steel cylinders to process the grain. This has caused much anger with some of the local who want to preserve them.
We came back to Regina and walked the 4km around the Wascana Centre and Lake, it was really pretty.
The really wierd thing about this area is one minute it is boiling hot sunshine and the next, storm clouds have appeared from nowhere (and trust me you think in this flat land you would see them approaching) and you're watching lightning strikes while the sun is still on your back. The rain then pours down, it passes and suddenly it is blue sky for miles again.
Early start tomorrow to drive up to Prince Albert National Park.
