Medicine Hat to Moose Jaw

The ride to Moose Jaw took us around 4 hours and once again, it was really cold. While we managed to miss the rain until just before we reached Moose Jaw, we were really feeling the cold. We stayed at Capone's Hideaway - a motel on Main St. Moose Jaw was known as Little Chicago and is infamous as a town heavily involved in the illegal bootlegging trade. Al Capone had an operation there and made use of some of the tunnels (which workers had dug previously) to store the bootleg liquor and conduct business. We took a tour of one of the tunnel systems which was really interesting. Sadly, no photography was allowed.
