We travelled to Elk Point. We visited Lake Laurier and then we returned home. The track out of the lakes had only one set of tyre marks in the snow. Which was cool, until we met a truck coming in the opposite direction. Naturally, I pulled over to the left. Whaaaattt! Did I say left? Holy bloody hell - the truck just kept coming. What? There was something I was forgetting - right, right? RIGHT! We fished tailed over to the other side of the road. Snow sprayed up in an arc! We slid one way. We slid the other . The back end came around and as I corrected, it flung back the other way, like there was a lunatic at the wheel (or some dumb aussie)! Matilda reported that the truck driver was laughing as he went past. Lucky for us driving on gravel roads is much like driving in the snow. Thank God we had four wheel drive!
Afterwards, we stopped at the Elk Point Outrider Truckstop, hoping to eat some elk, in a burger. We were starving and the thought of eating one of Canada's iconic wild beasts was just too tempting. Unfortunately, they didn't have any elk left. So we ordered beef ones. Those burgers were something else and proved to be the beginning of a scientific experiment. Like Celsius rated the melting point of water as 0. We now have the standard for bad burgers. They were the worst burgers any of us have ever eaten. They are the new zero! I can imagine a worse burger! But it would have to have a giant rat crap sitting on top of it! The best part of the meal were the potato wedges and they were stale, cold, soggy and possibly older than Noah's ark! I never thought a potato could go stale. I thought they went moldy. Oh, now that I think about it maybe that wasn't condiments..Eewww!! Our first burger rating...0/10. AVOID THE ELK POINT TRUCK STOP.
