🚗 Cross-Canada Road Trip Diary – Stop 4: Saskatoon, SK
Days 5 & 6: Exploring Saskatchewan, the quietest prairie province where even the two biggest cities combined have fewer people than Winnipeg! Here’s the lowdown: 🏛️ Western Development Museum "Where farming meets folklore!" 🌾🚜 Agricultural overload: From antique tractors to grain elevators – this is Saskatchewan’s mechanical soul Time-warp town: Walk into preserved 1900s storefronts (bakery, schoolhouse, blacksmith) Hidden detail: Some buildings might be actual relics from the nearby abandoned street (Fun fact: The horse-drawn wagon simulator made me seasick… and I wasn’t even moving! 😵💫) 🦬 Wanuskewin Heritage Park "Bison, bugs, and… parking fees?" ✅ Cool parts: Thundering bison herd (they’re HUGE up close!) Indigenous dance performances (check schedules) ⚠️ Reality check: $12 admission feels steep for basic trails TICK APOCALYPSE: Found two hitchhikers in my clothes/car – "Shower immediately!" 🚿🐜 Pro survival tips: Bug spray like it’s Armageddon Park outside gates if just hiking/bison-spotting 🌆 Downtown? What Downtown? No skyscrapers, just sprawling suburbs and the occasional Tim Hortons Our verdict: A prairie pause button – slow, simple, and secretly charming #Saskatoon #PrairieRoadTrip #BisonEncounters #MuseumHops #TickCheck #CanadaRoadTrip
