I didn't surprise me that you would not do a little virtual tour of SK
with Google Maps street view to take a reality check and see how flat it
is. It certainly is scenic. There are no hills or mountains to get in
the way of a good view. When you go further north there is lots of
trees on either side of the highway, but the roads are flat in front and
behind.
