Mom snapped that shot.Well just in case you were wondering... my wife and I recently returned from a whirlwind tour of Canada with about 2700 miles on her parents mini-van and 400 hundred more on our own car. We left on Wed. Aug 2 and returned the 12th traveling through Walla Walla & Spokane, WA; Sandpoint, ID; Cranbrook, BC; Banff, AB; Rocky Mountain House, AB; Red Deer, AB; Medicine Hat, AB; and Assiniboia, SK and many others.
My wife's family reunion was between Rocky Mountain House and Red Deer and was fun to meet her paternal family members for the first time. Extremely kind, warm and welcoming people. Most of them still live in central Alberta. But, personally, my favorite part of the trip was visiting a few farms on the wide open prairies of south central Saskatchewan. A very warm and friendly town called Assiniboia is the birthplace of my father in law.
While we were there my wife started a new hobby of spelunking through old homesteads. Homesteads that had not been lived in for a very long time, some more than forty years. The ones shown here became sheds when the family grew or the farmer became established financially.
One such home came equipped with a Fire Master fire extinguisher. I had never seen one like this. You throw it at the base of the flame. Now, who knows if you should breathe whatever is stored inside but that's a different matter.
Here is another, that is much older than the house in which we found the extinguisher. More to come on Canada...
