now I'm soggy

Well, that was interesting. Because of all the rain, I decided not to head straight south to the Bow. Instead, I went southeast along secondary roads for the most part until I hit Carseland. That's when it started raining heavily, with a little bit of hail. I found a store, and waited out the storm inside. There is a little campground here, where I'm spending the night. I don't want to spend too many nights in campgrounds; way too expensive. I think that I might try camping on an island in the river tomorrow.

My maps were in a pocket on the side of my front pannier. With the rain, they both got rather wet. I have them spread out right now in my tent to dry.

The river is moving pretty fast. if I have this figured out right, I should be in Medicine Hat by the evening of the 4th, and into Regina by the 6th. I have enough food to last until the 9th or 10th. I'm going to have to get off the river in Med Hat, as I don't want to divert north 100km. I'm not really sure how fast this river is going to take me; if it is fast enough then I'll be in Medicine Hat tomorrow.

Hmm looks like it's going to take quite a while for these maps to dry out. meh.
