Little Trip to Dog River

It was a cool, rainy 3ºC in Lumsden as we packed up our Open Range Home. One of the tires was low so Randal had to put some air in it by using the small compressor. We were on the road by 10:00am.

We drove into Regina, went South on the Lewvan Dr. to the new overpass on Highway #1 at the south end of Regina. We turned east on #1 to Highway #6 South until we arrived at the junction of #39. We turned west to Rouleau (aka. Dog River). The Souvenir Shop that just opened there was our destination. It is in the former TV Series Corner Gas set in “Dog River”.

It was nice visiting with the owners, Sylvain and Kerri Senecal. www.cornergassouvenirstore.com .

This Corner Gas Station has lots to offer visitors from souvenirs to clothing. You can even sit down and watch an episode of the 6 season sitcom while drinking a hot cup of coffee from your new Corner Gas Mug.

The “Ruby Cafe” was never a real restaurant so to make it a truly functioning Cafe there is many obstacles to overcome. The kitchen portion of the set was only in a Regina sound stage. It is a shame that we couldn't have the famous Ruby Chill Dog and Fries while we we there.

After taking some exterior shots in the wind and rain, we continued back down #39 South until we got to Nickel Lake Regional Park, a few kilometres from Weyburn. We purchased a Regional Park Seasonal Pass and booked in for 2 Nights

It continued to be cold, windy all day with predictions of snow tonight. There are only a few campers here ready waiting to enjoy the summer!!
