Yes you can find cars anywhere. Yesterdays activities included a tour of a defunct cannery which last canned salmon in 1930 after a rock slide blocked there spawning river. A bunch of frustrated salmon died in the river. The cannery continued with herring and other fish until early 50's. Now they make their living with tourists.
This is a long blog - hope you enjoy.
Gulf of Georgia Cannery - 70 cans a minute wow
the ubiquitous Ford car - a 1934 truck of some kindhey if you wanted detail you should ask the Prez
Speaking of the Prez, while sitting on the edge of the salmon box next to a new friend, Prez explored the salmon from the box behind him. Please note his new friend's tee shirt can you read what it says.... it doesn't say Ford. I personally like th matching purse.
The prez prepared his salmon for dinner... not really
Overview of one of the garages. sorry for the blur. Cars covered almost every American make and a few others.
This line of Fords started in the front with a 1929 and ended with a 1948 far in the back.
This one hasn't been restored. It is the Prez's dream car... Hope he wins the lottery!
Really we all really did have fun... Doesn't Jim look like he is having fun. The car is a beautiful 1948 Chrysler woodie
In addition to all the cars, the collection included many many music boxes, orchestrals, slot machines, which fascinated this young visitor . They all worked.
Royce may know what ths one is. It was lovely violin music with piano accompanient ?
Mr. Ralstoy making change to play the next machine. Jim seems more interested in this. The entry fees and donations are usedto support Alzheimer's care and research. Mr. Ralstoy's wife suffers from Alzheimer's and he tears up when he discusses it.

Yesterday we travelled to see a private collection of over 100 cars. Jay Ralston was a car dealer who just kept some of the trade in cars over the years. He also bought many others.

I am off to dinner with the Prez and Hamiltons. I have found wonderful Chocolatinis in the hotel pub plus local brew beers. And someone tell Mr. Stones they also have lemon drop martinis. Or if you would be kind you could invite he and Diane over to view the blog.
