Day 5

Monday 5/26/03
We left Moose Jaw at approximately 10 a.m. after drawing $100 in Canadian from an ATM and drove west across Saskatchewan. Stopped at a nature center near Chaplin, Saskatchewan and Lake Chaplin. In addition to the nature center there is a huge salt recovery operation there. The lake is a salt lake. The saline level in the lake is so high that the only animal life that live in the lake are brine shrimp. It is on a major avian flyway and a lot of water birds stop here to feed on the brine shrimp. One of Simba’s major fields of interest happens to be ornithology. We continued on through Medicine Hat and camped at a Municipal Park in Tabor, Alberta. A beautiful wooded park. $15.00 Canadian. We have electric but no water.
