Stop 41 Assiniboia, SK

This is a small, gritty town along route 13 in Saskatchewan.  We stopped to stay in a small regional campsite that is not far from a homeless shelter.  Luckily, the local Kal tire shop was able to get to my car.  I'm about 1500 miles overdue for a tire rotation.  I've stopped at one previous Canadian Tire location and they couldn't get me in for a couple of days.

We were once again visited by the rain.  Despite a forecast calling for 5 days with 0 chance of rain, we woke to light showers and drove through rain as we travel from Weyburn to Assiniboia.  It's cloudy and cool here now as Frances does laundry.  The 65F temperatures are nice.  We still are unable to get sun.  I don't think we've gone 24 hours without some rain since leaving Adirondack Park about 6 weeks ago.  We've had some sunny hours, but we've never been able to just spread out and take our eyes off the sky, watching for rain.
