Gull Lake, Saskatchewan

                            893 miles

Dec 25 - Today the main street of the town itself is pictured.  Unlike most other towns located along the Canadian Pacific Railway main line, Gull Lake was not planned and established by the railroad. In fact, there was some animosity from the railroad towards this town that bucked their plan.

The name Gull Lake comes from the Cree word for the area, Kiaskus (kiyaskos) which means "little gull".
