WAINWRIGHT

Hello all, hope things are well. I had to work Sunday, so I didn't do much this weekend. A and I went exploring some more, and drove to Camrose. It was an odd drive cause the signs are a bit different I find. One sign says 78 km, but in the other direction it says 138km. I think its the aliens again, but I'm no expert. So its over an hour drive north of Wainwright, but it feels like im driving south. (Still not sure how that works.) So we arrive in big Camrose, and it has everything that Lloyd has, but in a nicer setting. We will be going back during the day to visit the attractions that they have. Being hungry, we went looking for a restaurant, So we went to O Tooles, a nice looking Irish pub. We got seated and waited over 15 min, with no service. So we up, and left the place. across the road was an East Side Marrios. The manager sat us down and A asked if we will be served, the manager asked if we came from across the road, we said yes, his reply was that he should call the bar and say thank you for all the business. (phew, I thought it was personal.) The meal was great, and the service was to match. Saturday we will be going to see Camrose in daylight. On the way back, we decided to take the back roads home. Saw lots of great historic, and small places. Such places as; Bawlf, Daysland, Strome, and many others. The real good thing as that I saw where those lights are located.( the ones A and I tried to find, but ended up helping the Mounties free their car.) Well Its an intersection of hwys 41 and 13. and now you know, and knowing is half the battle. Now for the odd thing. (funny how odd things happen out here.) As we approached the city limits, there was a thick fog that started at the city line. before the city line, it was clear. (odd ) .

Saturday I started at the Wainwright museum, and took pics of the town. So you all have an idea, of what this place is like. Then A, M and I went to Edmonton to get a few things.
So a very brief history of Wainwright. It was originally called Denwood, and located where the base is now. So as the rail road moved west, they had to over come the Battle river. Well being as resourceful as humans are, the Rail company designed and started to build the bridge. So to support the bridge building, they built a town. ( not sure as to why they didn't use Denwood, but I wasn't there.) Now the railroad names towns after their bosses. hence the name Wainwright, (I think he was a VP, sorry I forgot). There i did learn something else, and it only cost me five bucks.

The pics are of the museum (which is in the train/bus station) , then the town. ( I wish I knew how to put these in order.) enjoy.
