Day 8 – Greenwater Lake Provincial Park, Saskatchewan to Lea Park in eastern Alberta

Sunrise comes early in these parts. We awoke to the sun shining into our trailer shortly after 4:30 am. After lounging about enjoying our coffee and a relaxing breakfast we were on the road well before 8. As we had north Marsha notices a sign that says a place north of us has the worlds largest porcupine, Quilly Willy. Of course it became a must stop for us. We even backtracked eastward 6 miles to see it in Porcupine Plain, Saskatchewan. Photo posted below.

The fields of rape, canola, or brassica were all around with their yellow blossoms stretching to the horizon in some areas. We are now camped at a park outside of town. This park as a golf course, a rodeo arena, and a campground. The campground has maybe 60 sites or so and there are only 3 sites used. It’s in a small river valley with plenty of trees and open areas. It’s the first place where insects have not pursued us relentlessly. A welcome relief.
