Moose Jaw


We enjoyed a leisurely two day drive to Moose Jaw for a visit with John's sister and family. 


On a tour of the downtown area, we discovered John's Music Store ..... 


.... and hints of the prohibition when Al Capone would make regular visits to the area. 
We haven't ventured into The Tunnels under town yet. Maybe later today.



The town has many walkways and treed paths for walking so we set out early this morning 
to wander through one of the wooded parklands.

The city defies all preconceptions of prairie land. 
Streets are tree lined (the elm trees are protected...no cutting, trimming or chopping allowed) 
and host a display of heritage homes. Parklands are expansive. 
The Art Gallery and Museum are state of the art. 


This morning we toured the Western Development Museum 
for a glimpse into the history of transportation. 
What an amazing collection of trains, planes, trucks and cars.

The LINN 816 carried workers to God's Lake Gold Mines.
