There was snow on the ground again this morning, but not
quite as deep as yesterdays. As it
started to brighten we agreed that we could quite happily spend another day
here, but we are being forced to move on as we’ve let our propane levels get to
an all-time low. I was impressed we had
heating and enough fumes to boil the kettle this morning, so we should be
thankful for that and not push it any more.
The needle is so far under the ‘Empty’ level that I can’t even see it!
We didn’t just speed off into the sunset though, there were too many viewpoints to stop at on the way out of the park and the local sheep came to see us off. As we headed North East towards Lethbridge the snow gradually faded away and we were back to green rolling hills.

We stopped in Lethbridge to top up on Costco gas (our cheapest in Canada yet at CAD 1.01 per litre) and our badly needed propane, again getting a good deal.
Then a speedy lunch before programming the Satnav to Cypress Hills Provincial Park, which is just short of the border of Saskatchewan. We will avoid crossing the border today as we would lose an hour jumping forward to central time. Instead, we arrived at Elkwater in the Cypress Hills just after 6pm.
We were seen off by sheep this morning and greeted by deer tonight:
The skies had totally cleared. So, of course,
it was time to get a fire going, grab dinner and watch the stars come out above
us for what seemed like the first time in a long time.
