Here's a another few shots from my grandfather's photo album.  It looks as though the bear might have been a camp mascot!  I've got a few others that I'll post with the next few blogs...

 

 

 

 

 

Northwest Canada in 1913...even today...January weather can be counted on for cold!  You see, this is long before "global warming".  I'm sure these guys would have enjoyed a little "global warming"!  They're still in Spruce Grove, Alberta.  I don't imagine they're making much progress on the weekend.

Sunday, January 12, 1913:

Weather was a little colder about 44⁰.  We got up at 7.30  went to breakfast and stayed n car all day.  About 9.30 the sun came out and got a little warmer.  In the afternoon got water for the wash.  No church or I would have gone.
