Took a road trip over to Prince Albert National Park in Saskatchewan as we've never been to Saskatchewan before. That turned out to be quite a fail. The Parks Canada website states: "Hours of operation

Open all year round Some services and facilities are open only during the summer season"

That to me suggests that perhaps there'll be a few businesses closed for the season and somewhat akin to what Jasper does. But nope, not the case, there was absolutely no one open, not even the two gas stations. I think the Elk Ridge Resort might possibly have been open according to the signs, but I decided not to chance it due to the snow and low fuel situation. So, it's closer to what Waterton does as opposed to what Jasper does for the Winter. Where Jasper has things like hot springs and gondolas close, but the rest of the town is still open and operating. It is certainly beautiful there and probably worth a visit in the Summer.

Anyway, not long after crossing the border, I spotted this beauty of a grain elevator letting me know that I've arrived in Saskatchewan. It was raining pretty good making my car look much cleaner than it is. Thanks to the IP68 rating, I see no reason why I can't take it with me in the rain while I get soaking wet. Lots of detail here, I especially like the tire treads and marks left behind. Quite sinky on that road. Without even trying, I spotted 7 wooden grain elevators between Flaxcombe and Waskesiu along with several other concrete ones. Saskatchewan really is grain elevator paradise.
