Our scheduled arrival time at the Marengo Hotel for BP32.1 was at around 3:30 in the afternoon. So before heading there, we did a very long roundabout drive to Marengo. We headed southeast from Macklin to Kerrobert, then south to Kindersley. From Kindersley we travelled a little further south before eventually turning west to pass through Eatonia, Mantario and then north to Alsask. From there we went a short distance back to the east to Margeno, and arrived just in time.
During the day we stopped and took a bunch of photographs and explored along the way. The wind was rather brisk and cold, so I didn't shoot anything outside with my view camera, and saved that for the Beer Parlour Project outing later in the evening.
During the day I took a bunch of snapshots with my new iPhone. This included a few old buildings in Eatonia and Mantario, as well as at an abandoned sulphate mine. It was a fun day that was followed up by a great outing in Marengo.
Shortly after I arrived back home from this road trip the area was hit by a late spring snow storm. It a good thing that we visited when we did...! I heard that the area around Eatonia got as much as 17 inches of snow.
