Yesterday it finally was a quiet morning and the sun is shining. Our kids and grandkids have returned home. Now, it is time to get in some focused training for the Camino. Maureen has ordered a new set of boots which means that we will likely take a trip to Saskatoon next week. Our Camino stuff is coming together. Yesterday afternoon we went for a 10 km walk west and north of town. Just before our walk, we found my rain golf gloves which we both tried out using our walking poles. Maureen is sold and wants a pair for herself as they do a better job of keeping hands warm in cool winds which we expect to experience on the Camino.
Today, we had walked 12 km in the morning. Along the way we saw a Meadow Lark, a pair of Snipe, a Killdeer, a Mule Deer and four Pronghorn Antelopes as well as numerous animal tracks. We passed by several sloughs where frogs were very noisy as well.
