from Alex Emond, in southwestern Saskatchewan: Once again, it's an International Harvester truck that seems to have longevity in SW Sask. Of course there has to be ongoing 'care and feeding' but I notice as many as I do Chevs or Fords . To begin with, I think that the body steel was of a generous gauge , overbuilt . I saw this first truck in Maple Creek . The yellow and black one (with the front plate from Cuba}...you have seen before but parked on the street. This truck is in Eastend. Here's a picture of a ranch that's a few miles north west of Eastend, in the Frenchman River Valley. Beautiful terrain, with wood, water and grass. Cheers, AE
Trucks, cars, highways, landscape, good writing. "You cannot travel on the path, before you have become the Path itself."
