That’s the rumour I’m hearing, I’m not at Evraz but they are responsible for customs paperwork somehow for where I’m loading. I don’t know, might be time to look for a motel and some adult beverages

Is there anything fun to do in Regina?
 
RCMP museum would be good to check out. Royal Saskatchewan Museum is OK, not likely anywhere near what your used too from Ontario though.

Fair number of small brew pubs in town. Bushwakker is my favorite. Usually very busy on friday's at lunch and before Rider games.

Not sure if there is anything going on at Wascana Park this weekend or not. Unfortunately, I am out of town this weekend.

I’ll check out the museums and the park I guess.

I really liked the Mennonite museum in Steinbach MB when I was there

Looks like Regina is home for a few days. Not sure how I feel about that yet
 
There is the Moose Jaw Western Development museum as well (45 min drive). Dusty (Bill) from this site could tell you more on that one, I have not been in many years, but he worked on at least one of the exhibits there.

Well by the time we finished loading, got paperwork, fueled and scaled, it’s 5:00 pm. There’s hardly any parking between here and the border, plus I don’t know if I’m allowed to truck in Montana after dark. So I’m gonna get laundry done, have some supper, print off my permits, and go trucking in the morning.

That’s my route in Sask to get to the border. Turn onto “unnamed road”....?

Every time I see that Regina sign I get flashbacks to that Groundhog Day movie :D
 
This is a complete guess, but I think it might be taking you the bypass to get to highway 6 south of Regina. Since the bypass is pretty new it might not be completely loaded into your GPS. Google maps did not have it for the first bit after it opened.

It could very well be, I’m at the Husky so I’m well past the “unnamed” roads part of the directions.
Hwy 1 back to Hwy 6 south, short jog on 39 to 6 south and that gets me to the border
Having 5 feet of overhang is not really that big of a deal, in my opinion
