We head east out of Saskatoon after we get laundry done and pick up groceries. The highway immediately turns into a major construction zone...both directions so it's a gong show.

The dotted lines to separate the passing lines have been blacked out and no shoulder painted lines. Pretty typical here...the highways are in rough shape for the most part.

We end up driving through the town of Humboldt, which sadly became known on April 6, 2018 when a northbound coach bus was struck by a westbound semi-trailer truck that blew through a stop sign near Armley, Saskatchewan. The truck driver failed to yield at a flashing stop sign and 16 people were killed and 13 injured. Most of the deceased and injured were players from the Humboldt Broncos, a junior ice hockey team from Humboldt, which plays in the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League. We think of all the families affected that tragic day.

Despite the road hazards and once again our highway turning to gravel, we make it to Greenwater Lake Provincial Park. It's a one night stop but will see what we can.

We head out on bikes for an overview of the place. It is a hugely popular place with many campgrounds, lake lots and homes.

We totally see the attraction to this place for summer fun. Lots of families clearly gather here for great fun together.

| Even a marina |

| Our campsite - huge pull through |
We enjoy a great dinner and then we notice Saskatoon berries growing right in our campsite.

Saskatchewan provincial parks include free fire wood and it's a beautiful evening with no fire ban.

| Great night for a camp fire |
That is a great spot. We haven’t camped there but we have stayed in the cabins for a late fall retreat
