Description
I know there are many who think Saskatchewan is one flat grain field stretching from horizon to horizon. Those folks might expect to see a painting of the great plains as seen cruising along the Trans Canada Highway.
But wait, as they say, there’s more to Saskatchewan than that. For example:
• the Big Muddy badlands with its rough terrain and sandstone outcroppings
• the grasslands and the Cypress Hills with their Ponderosa pines
• the Great Sandhills with their shifting sands and desert topography
• the parkland with its rolling hills, sloughs and willow bluffs
• the Boreal forest with its lakes, spruce and aspen
• the northern shield with its rock, muskeg, and moose
So, what did I choose to share with you? A country road. This one runs past NW 17 33 26 W2 – the farm where I grew up eight miles south of the village of Viscount. The rise of land looked north to our home quarter on the right and to our land on the left.
This scene was my ‘coming home’ greeting at the end of a daily 40 minute school bus ride. The road was designated Thoen Road in 2008 in honor of my parents, and in particular my Dad who drove the snow plow that keep this road open through all the winters of my childhood.
