Day 28: Grenfell SK to Elkhorn MB (134.42 km)

It turns out that staying on highway 1 was the best split-second
decision we've ever made. Once again, thank you Harvey. Today we
enjoyed (mostly) wide shoulders and even had a bit of a tailwind help
us out later in the afternoon.

As we've found our way through Saskatchewan, the mosquitoes have been
steadily increasing in number. However, it seems as though a large
group of black flies was waiting behind the Manitoba border sign and
they've been dive-bombing us ever since.

We also have the both fun and unfortunate distinction of arriving in
Elkhorn on the evening of the town's high school graduation. It's fun
to see all the kids wandering around the campground in suits, however
the novelty may wear off when we start trying to sleep!

As we mentioned in an earlier post, we've been tracking our granola
consumption throughout the trip and we thought we'd bring you up to
speed.

In total, through BC, Alberta and Saskatchewan we have now consumed 233
Granola bars and 7 kg of loose granola. Chew on that.

Tomorrow will be our first full day of cycling in Manitoba. We can't
wait to see what's up the road.
