May 29, 2022 - Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, Canada - 300 miles

I feel like our trip was officially christened today. Temp got down to 58 during a solid rainstorm, it felt like gale force winds all day, I crossed the border into Canada, I missed a turn and had to ride 2 miles on a wet, muddy, slippery dirt road and I almost ran out of gas. And I can honestly say it was a good day.

I had a fun and long conversation with an official Canadian Geezer in a Burger King while drinking coffee. He confirmed that the Canadian restaurant chain Tim Horton's has the best coffee.  He asked me if there were Burger King's in the States and I let him know that they are Miami-based. 

I visited the town where they filmed the sitcom Corner Gas. It's a fun show and they were showing reruns in my hotel room.

Gas in Canada is over $8 a gallon! It cost me about $35 U.S. to fill up the bike and an extra one gallon container I carry. 

One liter of gas costs $2.12 Canadian which works out to be about $8 a gallon U.S.

Corner Gas (Did you notice the mud on the bike?)

One bar reading on the gas gauge with 14 mile range left. That's too close for comfort.
