Better hurry if you want to experience the real history behind our great country, because urban sprawl, industry, and the decay of time is fast eating up those wonderful old farmhouses, those abandoned gas stations, those old restaurants and architecturally elegant theatres found in tiny rural towns.
"For Sale" signs have been posted with abandon, old farmhouses sit silently, their wooden boards graying with age, and once fashionable stone facade buildings are crumbling into dust.
For a more in-depth look at a recent trip we took along HWY 39 West in Alberta, click HERE.
Get a taste of our disappearing Canadian heritage (along with your children and grandchildren) before it disintegrates into the unforgiving passages of time. Get off the main highways, and spend a day exploring the country roads of Alberta, or Saskatchewan, or Manitoba, or . . . whatever province in which you happen to abide.
Take a camera. The photo opportunities are endless. I promise.

Wishing you safe and happy travels,
