After a late night in Bruderheim I set sail again east. Past this massive wreckers yard in Lamont
They even do limousines
I've been through Horopito a couple of times but never stopped at "Smash Palace" I'm not sure how this place compares but they had acres of cars. Just checked, you can see it on google earth. On Range road 195, just out of Lamont
Anyway, wearing my lucky t-shirt, I hoped to see more wildlife. Unfortunately I must've just washed all the luck out of it. I only saw 1 buffalo or bison...
[Dad joke]What's the difference between a Buffalo and a Bison i hear you ask ?
Well a Buffalo is a large bovine that roams North America
A Bison is what an Australian washes his hands in [/Dad joke]
Oh Well.... I got back on the main road and continued. There can't have been much to stop for as I don't have any pics. I'd put in a couple a hundy K's and was looking for food when I pulled in to a truck stop, usually a good spot to stop. It was a good meal, thanks for asking.... looked like this
I'd noticed some rodents zipping around out by the car park, apparently they're Gophers. Dam'n hard to get on the camera. Nice place to take a breather
After I'd finished almost all of it I wandered out to carry on when a woman asked if I was heading west. Turns out there was a severe weather warning issued and we were on the edge of it. I might've said some words your mother wouldn't want to hear and gaped it east. Going like the clappers trying to get away from the Red bit on the Enviro Canada map. Still time to snap a couple of pics though
I made it to Heinsberg, after another bout of range anxiety, which meant a detour into Dewberry to find gas which was out of sight behind a farm supply store
Had a yak to a couple who were going biking on a trail hereabouts and set up camp, trying to find somewhere out of the wind
I wandered around, trying to find water, unsuccessfully, before biting the bullet and riding to Frog Lake to get some. When I returned the bikers came over, with a beer and we had a yak where they recommended some spots out Nova Scotia way.
So I did the tea thing.... Now it surprises me. How come the Canuks can figure out how to make a Ciabatta bun last for 7 days but can't figure out how to put a tear top on a can... and watched the weather, waiting for a tornado to come out of the heavens. Looked a bit dodgy to me...
It started raining about 9 so I turned in and was serenaded by the most violent thunder and lightening I've ever heard. No hail though and no tornadoes
