Day 59

After our day in the park, we drove south and west leaving the plains of Manitoba for the prairies of Saskatchewan. Tracing the route of the Trans-Canada, we rolled into Regina by mid-afternoon where we visited the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Training Academy. Here we visited the Centennial RCMP museum.

 

From their start in the wild and wooly west, to service in wars overseas, to modern drug sniffing dogs, the museum covered an enormous amount of material, not always as in-depth as we would have liked. Sam and Sarah were impressed with the actual cockpit of an RCMP plane, and the theater wallpapered with movie posters of every "Mountie" movie ever made, not to mention locking them up in the Jail.

Making our exit, we pushed on to Moose Jaw where we camped riverside for the night.
