Scow on truck and now packing!



A very quick update today as we are busy packing. The scow was loaded onto the flatbed truck 6:30 a.m. today with no problems. The scow and truck are now in Drumheller for the night and we leave for Red Deer tomorrow about 8 am. Now we pack and realize we have 5 of some things, 3 of others. This is what happens when you go to flea markets and antique shops over 8 years accumulating tools and equipment for this project! Much of the cargo is food and we will eat that en route so less to bring home and lots to sell back to the antique shops too! Will try to upload to this blog tomorrow when the scow is in the river. I am excited and very exhausted, stomach in knots the past 3 days, don't know if it is a flu bug, food poisoning, nerves and stress or all of these.

  2. Darren,

    My 8 year old son Kalder and I spoke with you at the MRU Symposium and have booked camping at Dinosaur Provincial Park the first week of August in hopes you'll be there on time (around the 5th) Please don't sink the scow and disappoint my son.

    Have a great journey/adventure.
