Tomo left Calgary on Friday and bobtailed it down to Swift Current, Saskatchewan.  On Saturday he picked up the trailer in Regina and went down to Minot, North Dakota.  On Sunday midday he will be swapping trailers with a driver with a load from Muscatine, Iowa.  He will be heading back up to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and then on to Calgary, Alberta. 

Has been raining in southern Alberta for a while and this photo is on the freeway going through Calgary. There were couple places here and there that was under water like this one.

On the way to Swift Current, Saskatchewan yesterday, Tomo saw a recovery job going on. Tomo said that he really doesn't want to go off the road and definitely not on his side!!

These are on the way to Minot this morning. Just before Kenmare, North Dakota. This was ONE LONG TRAIN!!  

Finally Tom saw the end of it .... Total of 10 minutes but felt more like 20. On top of that it was only going about 10~15 mph which wasn't pleasant.

Tomo was able to get to meeting in Minot, North Dakota and is now back on the road heading to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and then on to Calgary.
