The first stop! If you need something to do this Halloween, there’s a pizza party at Sam’s Saloon in Rowley, AB. There’s one every month, to raise funds for the tiny town. I think there are only a few people still living there! A volunteer group has kept up the maintenance of some wonderful old buildings on the little main street. You can actually rent out the saloon for events, and there’s free camping right across the road. It’s nice that this little town has someone fighting for it. Most of them don’t.

Great photos! But you didn’t show the house in which I grew up! (‘>0) My father operated the elevator (Searle) for many years and I have looked out the top window of that structure. (Contrary to my father’s orders that I was never to operate the manual man lift to the “attic”.

I guess I’ll have to go back! Thank you for the comment.
I really like these shots, and the information was great too. I’ve been there a couple times and enjoy the scenes.
