OOPS...WE DID IT AGAIN... CANADA THAT IS

Well, be careful of what you wish for, more than likely it doesn't get granted. Such was the case with us. We unloaded in Lloydminster late Monday morning, received our new assignment a couple of hours later. We were to go back to Little Falls and take another load of boats to Lloydminster again, but this time with a stop in Melfort, Saskatchewan.

In retrospect, what was really nice about the trip this time was that we knew exactly where we were going, how to get there, and more importantly, what to expect. The only glitch in the trip this time was getting the proper paperwork with the correct serial numbers out of the Crestliner plant in Little Falls. But, after almost 10 hours we were finally on our way back to Canada.
  

With our load of boats, this time with three pontoon boats, a first for us, we thought it looked like we were carrying spaceships. We seem to draw attention when hauling regular boats, but the pontoon boats create a bigger attraction. Drivers are always slowing down along side us to take a peak at them.

So I really am at a loss for words this week as it is a repeat from last week. The drop in Melfort on Friday morning went okay, although I have to say, in a town that small, quite a few of the older gentlemen seemed to find their way to the boat yard to congregate and supervise. From the looks of the town, didn't seem like it got that much action, so unloading the boats must have been on the top of their excitement list for the day.

We left town and headed to Saskatoon, as we will not be able to unload in Lloydminster until Monday morning. We will spend the weekend here relaxing, doing laundry, and trying to figure out Canadian TV. We are so far north that our satellite TV can not pick up the signal.

We do know that our next assignment takes us back to Minnesota, this time to Pipestone, then to Salt Lake City & Riverdale, Utah for drop offs. I hope to have more pictures and commentary for you then.
