Day 90:

I hate moving houses. I saw a lot of them on the Prairies but this was the first chance I had to stop and get a photo. It is cheaper to move an old farmhouse into town than it is to build one from scratch so some communities are build completely with these transplanted homes. An interesting idea of recycling but very hazardous to cyclists on the road! They take up nearly all of the road and it would really hurt to get hit by one. Could you imagine telling the story? "Uh yeah, see I got hit by this house." What did it do jump out in front of you? "No, it drove up behind and surprised me."
