the new law

Just my luck this is the year that Saskatchewan decides to introduce a trespassing law. Every other province in Canada had a law about trespassing except Saskatchewan. It is about time they introduced one. On the other hand not having one made everything in our favor. Of course even with this law a “no trespassing” sign will not stop me. Law or no law I will continue to explore abandoned places big & small.

skunks & katanas

What not to do when you meet a skunk:

Poke it with a Katana to see if it is alive.

Lucky for me this skunk was dead despite the fact it looked like it was breathing. I was safe this time but may not be in the future if i try to attempt this stunt again.

the watcher

Last year on the way home from a very productive exploring trip we found a beautiful 3-story home standing in the field. Totally gutted but still very beautiful. We parked the car and walked out to it only to discover we were not alone. Not alone and being watched closely.

Beautiful 3 story home...

Angry occupant.

I later found out that this little guy couldn't fly. But if i got to close he could have still attacked me. Owls are vicious and they seem to be all over Saskatchewan and living in many of the abandoned farm houses. So next time you are out and about in Saskatchewan looking at old farmhouses you may not be alone.
