McLean crossroad

1,107 miles  (6 miles, recovery day)

Jan 16 - This picture of a railroad crossing near the highway shows the local marshy grassland and represents the ever-present influence of trains passing through. 


McLean was also known as a small game paradise for hunters, boasting the best partridge hunting grounds in the Saskatchewan.   Prairie chicken, pheasants, mallard ducks, rabbits and white-tail deer were also plentiful, up until the more agricultural 1920s.
