The population is decreasing as the young folk who do not wish to farm leave the town in southern Saskatchewan. There is a small museum there overseen by the niece of a giant of a man who was over 8ft tall but died at the age of 23 and he was told he was still growing. The chief of the Sioux, Sitting Bull, went there once to escape Americans.

Lytton lies where the Thompson River meets the mighty Fraser River. It often features as the hottest place in Canada in the summer. The new Coquihala Highway steered some traffic away from the Trans Canada and hence Lytton. We see a man who makes many metal "sculptures". We meet the local General Store owner, Ken Wong. There is a man who walks about with a vacuum cleaner on his back. Jonny tries out dirt biking with some young fellas. Then on to gold panning with George. The area has plenty of White Water rafting, and that is on his itinerary too.

Jonny visits a goat farm, and tries his hand at milking, and Tractor mechanics, he looks in on a tractor graveyard for a spare part. Teeswater is getting a new sewer system, and now marketing themselves as a tractor town. Some tractor drivers participate in Square dancing tractors. Jonny hangs on through an initiation in pillion tractor rides. We see the wild Teeswater Stompers that get together to play music and drink in the woods.
