Our second day on the road back took us through Saskatchewan. We retraced our steps up until Regina and then turned south towards the US border. We ended the day in Estevan Saskatchewan.
Most of the trip was through wide open prairie land with the occasional grouping of houses. The largest (really the only) town we went through was Wayburn. Wayburn calls itself "The opportunity City" and was named as one of the best cities in Canada to live. When going down the main street you see statues of wheat stalks which were eye-catching. 
This city marked the end of the prairie landscape and gave way to the oil and gas industry landscape,
Between Wayburn and Estevan we say more oil and gas wells than anywhere else on this trip, including Alberta. We had read and watched videos about the gas and oil fields in North Dakota so it should not have been a surprise to see so many oil pumps. This was also the first time we saw wells being dug and gas flares in the fields.
