A Day of Exploring

On the morning after our visit to the Waldorf Hotel, Margarit and I packed up all of our gear at the trailer, and headed over to Whif's Flapjack House in Drumheller for breakfast.  Chris, Connie, Arturo, Sharon and Camillo all joined us.  After breakfast we decided to head over to the Kneehill Creek Valley and explore some old stuff.  Most of the gang from the previous day's shooting for the Beer Parlour Project came along.  We have been told that the old Parrish and Heimbecker elevator in Sharples will soon be demolished, and we wanted to document it one last time.  It is very picturesque sitting in the Kneehill Creek Valley beside the now abandoned rail line.  Apparently a trail society now owns the old rail bed and doesn't want the liability of an old elevator beside it.

After exploring at the elevator, we drove up the valley to the town of Carbon.  We scouted the tavern in the Motel there and agreed that it might be a good one to return to for the Beer Parlour Project.
