Day 9 and now I know where agregates come from

Greetings from Gravelbourg. Well we have managed to trek our way down the Red coat route through southern Manitoba and across southern Saskatchewan. Our first rest stop was in the town of Souris, Manitoba and home of the SECOND longest suspension bridge in Canada. Those who have been following our blog should already know where the longest is.....
After Souris, and a couple of long hours on the road, we left the unbeaten track known as highway 13 for somewhere really out of the way. Don't know much about this town except the people were friendly, lunch was good, and there was a nice 4430 John Deere at the dealership.
One of the highlights of the day was the oil patch near Weyburn. If this doesn't show what is important to the west, I don't know what will.
Got into Gravelbourg around supper time. there is a huge cathedral and a Franco seminary college here. According to Leslie at the Mayfair, Gravelbourg is undergoing a bit of a resurgence and the town is growing. Nice to see that trend in this part of the world. Hopefully, we will tour the cathedral tomorrow, and get some pictures. Happy trails.
