June 30 - Marsden to North Battleford - 113 km








Another hot one! I think I went through about 6 litres of liquid by myself. We went through Neilburg, Wilbert, Cut Knife and the Sweet Grass reserve.

Wilbert consists of the Wilbert Store. We met some of the local gentlemen and spent a while talking to Rick & Ivan(?). Rick's a farmer and told us a lot about the local situation and history. His wife Lucille worked (or volunteered?) at the Cut Knife museum.we stopped in at the museum and learned about the 1885 Battle of Cut Knife. Laura and Leddy tried out an alternative to bicycling (next trip?). Lucille had to push to get them started!

Trying to be artful, I took a photo of a farm in the distance.

The shot of Laura is as she is starting down the Table Mountain hill. It was really a surprise to come upon this. A real "oh wow" moment. And, a shot of Ashley and Gerry after the bottom of the Table Mountain hill.
