Saskatchewan River, Hazel & David Thompson

Day Seven

6/9/2021

Wow! I've been travelling on the river for seven days already. During that week I have certainly experienced a variety of weather from heat and sun to wind and rain and chilly temperatures. This is Alberta and you have to be prepared for just about everything. At least at this time I seem to have missed the snow experienced on the Icefield Parkway the other day. Today I reached the town of Devon and soon I will be surrounded by the city of Edmonton. I can't help thinking about my previous long river trip which was travelling down the River Thames in the UK. There I had the opportunity to stop at a pub for my lunch and supper refreshment nearly every day and chat to the locals. Travelling down the North Saskatchewan my meals mostly come from freeze dried packages and my chats are to the birds and the wildlife. Apart from available cell service along the river and being able to talk to my wife in the evening for a few minutes.
