Winnipeg to Saskatoon — A 8-Hour Road Trip Across the Prairies! 🚗🌾

Drove 8 hours from Winnipeg to Saskatoon today! Here’s the scoop: ⛽ Fuel Stops: Topped up in Russell, MB (just before the SK border) at Petro Canada/Esso/TH. Entering Saskatchewan = time zone shift (set clocks back 1 hour!). ⏰ 🛣️ Highway Vibes: Wider, smoother roads than Ontario (prairie privilege 😂). Saskatchewan is obsessively tidy — even highway billboards are perfectly aligned! 🧼✨ Passing lanes every few km — so convenient! ☕ Hidden Gem: Common Grounds Coffee House (Wynyard) Cute café with wild bird exhibits 🦉📚 Tried their signature Quill Lakes Latte — named after a vital wetland ecosystem (globally significant for bird migration! 🦆🌍) Just minutes from the actual Quill Lakes — stunning views! 🦌 New Wildlife Signs! a Spotted "running deer" and "chonky deer" signs — way more creative than Ontario’s basic versions! 😆 🏨 Hotel: Best Western Plus Saskatoon Located in a shopping plaza 🛍️ Modern rooms + great amenities Walk 15 mins to The Cave Restaurant 🍽️⛰️ (seats inside actual caves! 😯) Tried their duo — decent but not mind-blowing ($212 incl. tip) 🚌 Local Explore: Took Bus #16 to University of Saskatchewan 🎓 (20 mins from hotel) Walked 40 mins to Delta Hotels Bessborough 🏰 (looks like Quebec’s Château Frontenac!) #RoadTrip #CanadaCrossing #Saskatchewan #Saskatoon #TravelDiary #PrairieLife #HiddenGems #CanadaTravel 🇨🇦✨
