A good day out in Prince George

We have done very little the last couple of days, a little shopping catching up with emails, we have wifi that works, first time for weeks. Today our third day here we will have a day out and visit the park of a 100 different trees - they are into trees in a big way here. We arrive at the turn off to the park, its closed, they are putting in a new road, or dear what are we going to do now, she says.  Off to the visiter centre to see what else PG has to offer and we find this place -

 

Just up my street

 

A super old Dodge truck

 

Smashing old car, now isn't that better than looking at trees

 

This one is for the couple of retired firemen who read the blog, can you imagine ridding that to a fire in a Canadian winter, this was used up to 1928.

 

How about that for a snow plow it was built in 1902 & used until the 80s.

 

And another

 

This monster is a plow come grader, those things on the side come out and the move the snow which has been moved off the tracks further away, in the summer its used to grade the gravel on the side of the track.

 

Lots of old graders.

 

Not much comfort driving this grader.

 

A big Mack Truck from the 40s.

 

Inside the cab, my back started hurting just at the thought of driving this.

 

It wasn't all engines and machines, there are dinning cars and old railway stations and pots and pans and stuff.

 

 A great man day out. tomorrow we move on down highway 97.
