1950 GMC, 1953 GMC


from Alex Emond in southern Saskatchewan: I was just out on the prairies for a week - if I sent you all the truck pictures that I took, at once, you'd get a near-fatal sugar rush. Some are trucks that we have seen before but in different light and/or settings but I don't seem to be running out of subject matter. I plan to spend late September and a lot of October in Sask. which I am looking forward to . Driving around in that vast and varied land gives me the feeling that you probably get while you're sailing. Here's a pair of "full frontals" for you. You saw these trucks about 6 years ago . Great to see that they are still in the same place ... although not in 'exactly' the same place because they are still on call for periodic tasks . The red bulldozer is quite the beast. If you could drive/operate that you could drive anything, including a herd of cattle . Cheers , Alex ps; are you going to Owl's Head or is that too dangerous ?
