Perry, Garth, Bish and Gordon July 25\85. Inside the historic Hanna Alberta Roundhouse and these scratchings date from the time the building was repurposed and operated as a cattle auction mart. Of all things. The little details tell a story and are the things we look for.

The historic Pilot Bay Lighthouse, in the West Kootenay region of British Columbia, dates back to the early 1900s and remained in use for almost ninety years. Post retirement it’s been preserved in place on a point overlooking gorgeous Kootenay Lake and easily reached via a short hiking trail. Spectacular scenery, a blast of lake air, and a little history awaits those who pay it a visit.

When you park your jet in a sketchy neighbourhood...
FSKE: Bombardier/Canadair Regional Jet from the mid-1990s and now stripped valuable parts. It's one of many in this boneyard connected to an aircraft leasing firm and they were spotted during a lunchtime stroll while doing work in the area.

Saskatchewan and curling are forever connected. While it's not as popular as it once was and many rinks are no longer used (like this one), still a lot of people in the province play. We didn't notice the door pull at this facility until leaving and had a little chuckle. This rural single-sheet rink seems intact but it's been a while since anyone had a game here. Old papers and calendars scattered about suggest 2002 was the last season.

I noticed Chris had this in his queue since last fall but never posted it. He appears in this video but as the shyest and most humble person you'll ever meet (ask anyone who knows him), was perhaps uncomfortable with the idea. I've know him for 30 years, and that's him.
Here's a piece from our friends Jim and Jay of the Caped Wonder Podcast, and Chris joined them while exploring sites seen in the original Superman movie franchise. Chris was credited with finding the site of the gas station explosion a few years back and it too is visited in this video.
Thanks,
Connie
