We passed the Saamis Indian Interpretive Center as we left MHat. We crossed into Saskatchewan at 10 and can't believe how bad the roads are. There are no Km markers, you never know where you are and the rest stops are non existent. They have millions of miles and grudgingly have a small pullout where you have to turn around to get back to the highway, if you can. No washrooms in sight. We 're in rolling hills with wheat as far as you can see. We keep passing signs to Louisburg, Dig 240 etc, directions to pipeline sites. Lots of grain elevators beside the yellow fields of canola and some very pretty tiny blue flowers which are flax seed. Big surprise, when we passed the Chaplin Lake, a major wild bird sanctuary, there were salt flats. Got to Swift Current for lunch, kept going past grain elevators and pulled into the Besant Campground, on old provincial one at 3 p.m., 21 kms west of Moose Jaw. We pay $20/night and there are no services. Who knew?
