Buffalo Pound, Lakeside #4

Wasn’t the last fall camping trip supposed to be the last one this camping season? Ha. Well, the unbelievable temperatures of September changed our minds! Actually I’m writing this in October and a few days ago it was 28°C, how crazy is that?! We convinced Gord to come out with … » full post and pics!

A weekend with friends in Buffalo Pound Provincial Park was meant to be the grand finale of the camping season. This was September 10-13 and we ended up going away one more time after this. We love fall camping if we get nice days, and these last few weeks have … » full post and pics!

Moose Mountain, Fishcreek 34

For months we looked forward to going back to Moose Mountain again for our longer summer stay! Biking, fishing, walking, enjoying the trees, the lake and the campground, fishing at Little Kenosee Lake. Although we had a great stay in our, so far, favourite site Fishcreek 34, we also were … » full post and pics!

Greenwater Lake Marina

Our first trip after we moved to Canada in 2008, about three weeks in, was to Greenwater Lake. We had just bought our first car here and were still quite oblivious of the dangers of prairie winters! But it was a beautiful trip that we’ll never forget. We have been … » full post and pics!

Hartwell cabin, Buffalo Pound, sunset

You may know that Buffalo Pound is our favourite close-to-home destination. We have several options too! Most of the time it’s the south shore… the provincial park or a private campground… but sometimes we go to Valley View on the north shore to visit the Randi and Floyd (and son … » full post and pics!

Buffalo Pound, Maple Vale 18

Finally time to start the 2021 camping season! We started close by, our home base of provincial parks if you will, Buffalo Pound Provincial Park. It’s only an hour drive to the north west for us, so we’ve been here many times! We love the scenery and how … » full post and pics!

flashback /ˈflæʃ.bæk/ – a blog post that goes back to events in the past 🙂

I’ve been adding some old photos from 2012 and 2013 as (backdated) blog posts with galleries. One was really deserving of writing a flashback for: a weekend with friends at the lake and Jeffery Straker … » full post and pics!

boat cruise on Clear Lake on the Martese

That nasty thunderstorm passed us by and all we got (thankfully) was rain. We used the morning well by sleeping in and we were glad it cleared up just in time for the only Clear Lake boat cruise during week on the Martese. We did this the previous time … » full post and pics!

About Wobben.org

Hello! We are Nico and Marlies Wobben!

On The Prairie And Beyond is mostly about our life in Regina, Saskatchewan on the Canadian Prairie, where we live with our five wonderful kitties and go camping a lot with our motorhome. We also love traveling back to the old country (Netherlands) and other places!

Nico is an RN and I (Marlies) have a web design and crafts business Feel The Fire and write on this blog. Until 2019 I combined this with a parttime office job.

We've known each other since the 80s from heavy metal concerts, mostly in Eindhoven, where I am from. We didn't get together until 1993, married in 1996, lived in Heerlen until we moved to Canada in 2008.

We are home! We love the people, the space, nature, the wildlife... our prairie life!

Our Kitties!
