Boler Bob

It’s Boler Bob, a little egg-camper from the 1970s spotted for sale in the Crownest Pass of Alberta in August 2021. It’s not ours, so please don’t message us. It happens every time we post – remember we have this weird obsession and only photograph them. These trailers are always in demand and it likely sold quickly.

Bolers and their kin don’t come cheap, but with proper care can be made to last almost indefinitely, plus they fit pretty much anywhere. Therein lies the value…oh, and they’re cute too.

Note the early ’50s’ Pontiac hood ornament up on the roof. That era sure was sure big on chrome and most autos of the time seemed to be garishly adorned.

You’ll see the backside of the Turtle Mountain in one of the photos and it’s most famous for it’s part in the Frank Slide disaster. The opposite face gave way in the early 1900s and ruined a lot of lives in the process. From this angle it looks pretty benign, but go to the other side and it’s a chilling scene. Even after all these years.
