Regina, Saskatchewan Ground squirrel and coyotes in the prairie
Highway hotline confirms this morning that TCH isnt open yet. Together with the French we develop an alternative route, since we want to barbecue tonight together. With the prairies fauna changes as well.Prairie dogs dont seem to be endangered; they zoom over the road forth and back, not always successfully. They are so many; I ask myself if they arent a nuisance like mice in Europe? The endless meadows are ideal terrain for coyotes. One of them crosses our way, two pack members flee into the high grass.
Regina, Saskatchewans capital with 170,000 inhabitants isnt too exciting. We prefer to continue our way to the agreed meeting point with Francoise and Dominique. On the parking lot in the pretty QuAppelle Valley a royal deer watches us. Many of the designated pick-nick areas are equipped with grills. We just have to collect some wood to light our common barbecue.
