If it's not the cows it's the trains. They're pretty much all the company you get out here.

Day #17 Gull Lakes to Chaplin, 148 km.

Some days are easy and a ton of fun like day 16. Some are bitches and grunts. Today was a grunt. The bad news is that I woke up sick, couldn't really eat and felt like I was gonna puke all day. The good news is that I still somehow squeezed 148 km out of it. I don't know what was wrong with me if it was the notoriously bad Saskatchewan water or the fact that I'm doing this whole trip without bothering to take a day off. Either way it was tough. Also seriously considered dropping down to ride out Sask. on the 13, but after viewing the locals lack of enthusiasm for the plan I decided to stick to the TCH.
