We left in the rain. It was very windy, rainy and cold all day. We stopped for coffee and met a Canadian couple on their first day trip on a motorcycle going west in street rain gear. They were soaking wet and cold. We sat with them and showed them our motorcycle rain gear. We stopped in Moose Jaw and saw the Al Capone tunnel. We then rode to Regina and visited the Government House. Here is a link to their website.
