drifted grids
The other day I decided to make a quick trip out because there was no wind! I went out with saskurbex and we decided to stay nearby and visit a stone church we had found at night a few months ago. The grids were fine until we arrived to the one leading up the church, it was full of snow and nothing any vehicle could make it through. The snow drifts were extremely high but since it was nice outside we decided to walk. It was definitely worth it as the sun was beautiful against the frosted snow and the drifts in the graveyard were very interesting.

quick valentines day drive
Usually around valentines day I take a large multi day trip somewhere around the province. This year things got changed around and it just didn't work out. I still managed to convince saskurbex to go out on a small one day trip to see what we could find. It was nice to get out but because of all the snow from this winter its hard to get to anything. We did find a few churches, community center and a ton of deer.
Here are some pics from that trip:
random and worthy of a picture..
this was only a small portion of deer we found on the roads we drove
and a nice pink sky to end the day...

new website & updates
If you live in this province you will know how bad the weather has been this past month. The weather is the main reason I have not been going out exploring. This doesn't mean I haven't been doing exploring related things. All this time inside has given me a chance to create a website.
Since exploresask.com is no longer I wanted to create a website by myself that would connect to my blog. A place for people to browse more pictures from locations. There are only two full locations on the website now but I have more updates on the way.
Looks for more updates on the blog & website as the weather improves! I have been getting anxious to get out and explore again. Hopefully this happens in the next couple weeks.
