Anything just to get out for that last ride!  We travel within a couple of hours of Saskatoon, in the same direction as the weekend before. Only this time we'll put on a way less miles and instead of slog 'n it across 30 or 40 miles of fields and new countryside, looking for a town nearby, we're going to do a BBQ in the woods. So on the list, is find a good place to stop and enjoy the view. And we do find it, BBQing right up on the edge would be a little dangerous.........in the sun the surrounding soil is getting soft and slippery where it is exposed to the spring warmth. But the scenery, the food and the company is all good plus we're getting in a good sled ride, and it turns out it is the last one of 2010, enjoy the sunny snaps.

And yes there is snow!

Crossing the river, a little melt water 3 or 4 feet above the actual river.

Looking west down the river.

Looking east.

2 or 3 feet of snow, soft in the day time heat, compounded by the huge blocks of ice piled up and scattered everywhere especially along the outside radius.

Nice spot over looking the river.

The cooks extra fix'ins.

Looking down the trail towards the river. This is
towards the lost highway river crossing.
