    That is cool. I understand the want to preserve history, however I'm a bit puzzled in it being turned into affordable housing for young people. I suspect it will get run down in no time.

    Thats one big caravan (or do you guys call them trailers??). Either way I would hate to have to overtake that on a narrow road .

    It is actually pretty amazing that it held together so well.
    I welcome all critique and comments on any of my photos

    Thanks, everyone. I would have liked to have gotten shots of it actually driving down the street but the 4am travel time combined with the -18C temperatures made me want to stay in bed!
