Day 6 - Train Tour to Big Valley
In thr parking lot this morning, talked to this guy from Florida ( on a really extended tour o the states), who has this cool Rawleigh's Peoducts T. The question is, are you old enough to remember when Rawleigh's Products and Watkins Products would arrive at your farmhouse so you could stock up on liniments and cold remedies and various other sundries?
This mornings tour took us to the Ford Farmstead (no relation) for ice cream. Perfect way to start the day, right? Ice cream and then toffee to go....
Afternoon tour was a lengthy train ride from Stettler to Big Valley on the Alberta Prairie Railway Steam Train.
Before we left, we managed to get almost everyone from our club together for a group photo.
We couldn't find Barbara (she was in the locomotive trying to hitch a ride) so her friend Karen stood in for her.
We took a few T's along in case the train broke down,,,,,,
Tickets please,,,,
Your money or your life, please,,,,
At big valley, we had a steak, beans, salad dinner and then explored the town, found this tool museum, now here was a guy (probably divorced) who let his collection get away,,,
Pat found another tractor sewing machine in the ice cream store,,,,
We may be looking at a new use for her collection.
Just one more thing, this is the saloon car, very popular on the way back, along with some cowboy entertainment.
Long day,,,,,,zzzzz,,,

Hope you are having a great time! Some of us could not go, we still have to work! 😂. We are planning on going to the Lake Tahoe Antique car camp out this weekend. Safe travels to everyone!
Cool pic of the Ts on the train! (Also, just curious, do your jackets say No Kids? 😂)
