This from Alex Emond, out on the Saskatchewan plains last fall:
"You may need to upgrade your last tetanus shot before you look at these relics . There is a rancher who's 'spread' includes the 'former' village of Scotsguard, Saskatchewan. Seems like he likes to round up more than just cattle ... there are about 50 hulks from the teens , 20's and a few make it into the 1930's . What a sight . There was nobody in the house when I pulled in , but it's a busy time of year for those agricultural types. So I don't know the story but I can see that this dude has more vehicles in a variety of buildings . I have to hunt him down this winter and see if he is willing to show me more of his collection."-AE
Trucks, cars, highways, landscape, good writing. "You cannot travel on the path, before you have become the Path itself."
