RE: Road Trip From Victoria, BC To Saskatchewan


Is this place in Elfros?  I was in Wynyard 2 summers ago doing some work for Lilydale, and went for a little drive one evening.

No it isn't. To me that looks like Viscount, I believe. If it is, it is about an hour or better west of Wynyard. Most of the cars I added to the registrys are from Elfros which is 15 minutes east of Wynyard! Did you trave east or west on your little drive???

I went about an hour east, past Kandahar!  I recognise Elfros, just didn't snoop around there though.

I just looked on Google Earth. It looks like I went to Foam Lake, and then back to Wynyard.

In you pic you are heading west. Wynyard is the next town east of Kandahar. Your return trip back?  Did you tour Foam Lake?

I did a drive-thru, and then went back. I was looking for old cars. :)

You need to invest in a car trailer. It's way easier!

 From Saskatoon, Viscount is @1 hour and Elfros is just over 2 hours away! Foam Lake is 2 1/2 hours east of Saskatoon on the #16 Yellowhead. If you have a map in front of you or mapquest, you will see it. From Foam Lake to Edmonton or Calgary, it is about 8-8 1/2 hours. So I would guestimate at least 6-7 hours from Drummhellar!

All three?? Are they all the same as the Saltspring car? If they are, it sounds like you have a problem like I do with Beaumonts!

Thanks, but the wife would kill me on a 6 hour drive to see some old cars. I will see that museum by Red deer though.

I would be collecting alot of cars too. If only these damm kids didn't cost so much LOL

IMG_0004_1_2.JPGGreat story Vincent ! I'm glad you made it home safe, I hope you dealt him down from his original price, now it makes me want to go get that 67 GP 428 I found, it's only a 4-5 hours trip for me and I am already nervous and fearing break downs ??? What did you figure you got for gas mileage ?

   Hey Vincent, By the way I know what you mean by that weak transmission crossmember frame anchor, mine fell off the driver side when I got my 1970 Bonneville convertible parts car towed home. I will have to pay attention to these little details if I go get that 67 GP.

 Lucky is right!!! I am parting a '69 Impala Custom, since it did not sell over the winter, so I will harvest the frame from that and do a swap!!

Vincent, I enjoyed your trip story last summer and reread it again this morning. I don't think we ever met but we have mutual friends here in Nfld, the Lannons. Gordon gave me your phone # a couple of years ago to maybe drop by and see your place. I was driving truck out of S'toon for a number of years and in the spring and fall would be hauling NH3 and used to stay in Watson. Brendan.

Ahhh, you are the famous Brendan that Paul was talking about!!! Was talking to him last week and he again asked if I had seen you... Of course I said no but since I know who you are now, you will have to inform me when you arrive west again!!!!!!!

 Hey John! At times during that trip I wish I was the editor and not the author!!! But all things being said, I did make it and it was an experience!!!

 The 2-dr post? Got it but it is a heck of a lot more rusty car than the Saskie cars for sure. There is rust in that one that you will only see in your neck of the woods and usually not found here! But, oh well.................
