We stayed at the Prairie View Campground. 30$ gave us a full site. The profits to this park went to the handicapped adults who took care of the park. When Al went to make a reservation the guy told him to pull in and pick a spot. Put your money in an envelope with your name and site number on it and drop it in a box! A small town like Ripley (only bigger) where honesty means a lot.
I am reminded that when shopping for groceries the Co-op is the place to go! Not the Co-op we know at home though!! You find these grocery stores out west and our east.
Al, with the sharp eye, spotted this 1974 GMC truck at the local dealer. We went back so that he could speak to the sales agent. NO, he is not buying it. He was looking at it for a guy in Owen Sound that actually wants to buy Al's 1984. I am sure if I said I would drive it back it would be sitting with us at the campsite today!!!
We also took the opportunity to tour the Rose Museum. Unfortunately, I did not take any pictures. They had a no picture policy inside but I could have taken some outside. The museum was set up in sections of what was in Rosetown in the early 20s-50s. The young lady working there was in her last year at Univ. of Saskatoon Education Degree. She was very informative. One interesting fact, was that Kerosene was used as a medicine! Times have certainly changed!
