So who has been to Saskatchewan?

So who knows Sask? I never went, but my wife (who never went there, either) has got some relatives there and maybe we'll go there one day.

I was reading about it; the blurbs say: "Saskatchewan will surprise you".

So, why would this be? It looks huge on the map, anyway. It's a long, square shape.

I think there are loads of farms. Typical of the Canadian Prairies. The middle one of the Canadian Prairie Provinces.

Saskatchewan is rectangular, not square.

Take care.

PS: I have never been to Saskatchewan. I have been to Manitoba though.

Take care.

Yes, I see what you mean. I should have said, squarish...

The rectangle is up on its end..

So is Manitoba, in a sense, except Manitoba also has part of the coasltine from Hudson Bay, whereas Sask. 's boundaries are almost wholly derived from lines on a map....

So, want to go there?

far:

Depends on which part of the rectangle you define as its "end". But I digress.

Yes, Manitoba has a more aesthetically and geometrically pleasing shape than Sask.'s near-rectangular profile.

I would love to go there. Would you like to go with me?

I was born there, southern sask is really very boring and flat, but the Saskatoon area is rather nice.

So tell us a bit about what's nice is Saskatoon, then?

On the map there's also a Cypress Hills park in the south of the Province, know it?

I've been to:
Gainsborough, Stoughton, Creighton, Regina, Saskatoon and a few others I can't think of at the moment. At least four other small towns.

So...Sask. a place to be recommended for a visit?

**SporkV** · 09-30-2010, 01:47 PM

Well the south is pretty much nothing but flat and farms.
The northern part(not that I've seen a lot of it) is nice enough.
But really I wouldnt think of it as the province you'd want to visit really...

TFK14:

I kind of find open, rolling country wholesome and attractive....

Some ppl prefer either mountains or sea, I know.

But though I never went there yet, the idea of Saskatchewan kind of appeals to me.

**SporkV** · 09-30-2010, 01:56 PM

It's not very "rolling"....it's very flat.
But to each his own I suppose.
