End of a long trip

43 years ago today, the long trip for Fritz Stehwien and family ended, when the CN train arrived in Saskatoon. Friends whisked 6 weary travellers off in smooth riding, quiet luxury cars, to the final stop in North Battleford, Saskatchewan. It was a rainy, dull day, with all colours gone from the landscape and all anticipation drained from the dream of paradise. The end of the trip, but really just the start of a new journey.
