Oh, boy !! Shredded the new belt about 2 hours out. Went through part of the Qu'Appelle Valley and over the dike at Buffalo Pound Lake, which had whitecaps on it and breakers on the shore. Raining again today. Really missing the beautiful BC weather :( Checked into the Prairie Oasis RV park and spent the evening watching the lightening and listening to the thunder and pouring rain (3/4" overnight). Next AM Norm was able to get a new belt, which he installed himself. Always great travelling with a mechanic :) We went through the Tunnels of Moosejaw in the center of old town. They were originally to join all the steam heating systems in the large old buildings. Supposedly, Al "Sarface" Capone and his boys did business here with goons, guns & gals during prohibition thus it was called "little Chicago". The second tour was called "Passage to Fortune" where the Chinese immigrants came to seek a new life and were forced underground in intolerable conditions because of the white prejudices while trying to realize their dreams. After the tours we went to Yesterdays for a bowl of hot homemade borsch & bun, and ended up visiting with Nurse Nancy & Joe the Cop Havixbeck, from Kelowna. Also took with us homemade cabbage rolls, perogies, stuffed pretzel and Ukranian sausages - sounds like a great meal coming up !! Discovered that friends of ours from Blythe, Roger & Sherry Morrisette, live in the trailer park adjacent to our park so had them over for a couple of toddies and an evening of chat.
