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!

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!

Buffalo Pound, September 1-3

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!
