I have worked for the university for how many years now and have never heard this story. I guess over at foothills we are in a different universe. Thanks for sharing

I climbed those stairs many times in the four years I worked as a contractor at the U of C. But never knew about Leon until now. Thanks Dan!

Hmmm...ribbit...

Quite sure the one in Bawlf is still active... in some way.

I have one n it's perfect

Saskatchewan Artist Robert Hurley had grain elevators in most of his paintings.

Well done Dan. It was our first trip to Rowley that was started with a conversation with Dale and Janice last Christmas. We were happy that you and Emily also came along, with my brother and sister-in-law, Sean and Jody also joining the group, We had fun and enjoyed our time together. We'll have to do it again.

I wonder if that train made its way to Dog River

Fun fact: Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, Washington, Oregon and California all have falls named Bridal Veil.

Alright, Dan and Mrs. Dan out getting some roadwork in. Be great for the health. I hope Dateline has never been to Glenbow Ranch. We're always concerned with your safety. Nice outfit Emily...

how's the road when driving with a trailer? Can you fit 30ft trailer?

NICE ride, just my style...down hill 😅 I used to ride my mountain bike alot, but now it's been 4 or 5 years. When we spent winters in Yuma, Az. ( you know, southern BC...) we would ride quite a lot. Enjoyed your trip, maybe do some more?! Note to Emily: keep him on track, even if it's just a ride through the neighborhood! 😉

Outstanding video...I was actually a friend of Larry McGee, then-reeve of the town in the 1990's...have visited the town many times, and Larry let me up the large elevator's man-lift...whereupon I got stuck at the top...after much jumping to dislodge the man-lift, I managed to get down! Thanks so much for this great video...BTW, Daisy's House has had the beautiful and historic back part removed to make room for maintenance equipment...a terrible loss.

Great video, thanks for sharing! I checked this out today after driving past here probably 50 times! The drone footage is super cool.

Yes Hodgeville😅

Great job doing the history behind the Columbia Gorge where did you get the old photos?

Good video, interesting school. I remember our house in Bellingham, Wa. when i was a kid, it had a coal chute and an old coal burning furnace in the basement. It was kinda "creepy" down there. We're "enjoying" our 109f days here in Oregon. 🥵 Happy camping!!

ex saskie here, was glad you showed Bateman, my family farm is between Gravelbourg abd Bateman, know that area well

Oki

Thnx again for sharing your travels. I used to buy grain for the Alberta wheat pool and it was such a nail into every town’s coffins when the elevators closed and the rail lines closed. Sad and a loss. I’m so glad to see Rowley still trying to stay alive. Great job everyone. The big blue house on the corner and the roof on the school look like great humanitarian projects. Once history is gone you’ll never get it back

Gosh it’s been at least eight years since I’ve sat in Sam’s Saloon enjoying a pizza and a wobbly pop. I guess I should do it again sometime.

Well done Dan....thanks for sharing

Thank you for the Shout-out!! Awesome job as usual on the video and so great to meet you both!

Been there! Sam's. Is there still the 'angry signs' on one of the locals houses? That say in essence piss-off! Rowley is cool.

Thank you so much for the shout out! Again, was so great to meet you both !!

Good one, mate. Never gone for pizza night, but I've visited a few times on a weekend when it's been really quiet. Need to get back there with my latest drone on a weekend, for some neat drone footage. :) It's a shame that the school has been removed from the protected heritage list. I need to get there for drone footage while it's still standing. Shame we're not keeping that one on the protected list :(

Wondering if there's a place that says that they were cremated?

nice to see Rowley's pizza night is getting more & more popular

Watched Star Ship Troopers there, last movie seen there was: Society of the Magical Negro, and Migration. Last stores holdingo ut, the gift plus store, and the card shop, and the Blood Clinic upstairs, and Tai Chi Cuisine. I probably had the last boba tea the granny made there.

I remember this mall, had a great food court and I would go to the theater on a weekend. I remember back in the late 90s right across was a Hard rock cafe. I hope they use that land for the public other than tall apartment buildings.

Love your new hat. :-) When we took our daughters there about 15 years ago, I bought a book at a gift shop on the first day. It's title: Death In Yellowstone. Why did I think that would be a good idea? I spent the next 10 days seeing lethal situations every where we turned. Death by scalding. Death by bison stampede. Death by falling off a bridge. Death by having a rock fall on your head.

Thanks for this informative video.

Respectfully dismantled not ruthlessly destroyed! It's good to be nice to our condemned grain elevators 😊

This was a very interesting video. It's nice to see people actually following the drone rules to help avoid giving all drone pilots a bad rep. Your footage turned out great and it was nice to see the old UGG elevator from all those different angles as I likely won't be able to sneak out there for some of my own before this old sentinel is gone. Nice that you were able to tie in some other interesting info during your visit as well. Keep up the good work Dan O!

Excellent layman's explanation of a grain elevator. There's also a wonderful 1960's NFB doc., about a day in the life of a grain elevator operator.

Great work, Dan... Also, Emily, you're AWESOME!

Another really fantastic and informative video! I've never been to Canada, so all Canadian history is new to me. That kid is a legend!!

too bad that more can't be saved. Thanks Dan. Glad you made it

Very interesting. Who would have know that young man snuck his way into that famous photo. Great vid as usual.

Oh no, that place again! I had basic there in the winter of 1974 and we were 'required' to both visit and donate to the Patton Museum. I guess the $1 I kicked in didn't do much. You're right, it does get cold there, especially when you're outside all the time. This is the first time I've seen the place since back then. When I was there Knox was home to a basic training command (TRADOC) as well as the US Army Armor School. We got to hear tanks and explosions all the time. We stayed in the old WWII barracks during our in-processing week, so I got to stay in one exactly like this. We then moved over to the brick/concrete barracks down the road. Also, they filmed most of the movie Stripes right here on Knox, in the training area. I got my first Army haircut at the same barber the actors did. If you like the actual weapons try to visit Aberdeen Proving Grounds Museum in Aberdeen, MD.

This was absolutely an awesome video! Thank you for sharing ! Have always been mesmerized by this elevator. 👍👏

Do you know the story of the rail bridge you guys ran across?

As an old Infantryman... Always keep your wife out in front of you when hiking thru the woodlands. Must be a gentleman at all times.

Gotta love ❤🤍💙 the double decker shitter 💩💩💩💩💩🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣! #Montana

You finished the day I retired. I first drove 66 back in January 1976. Hard to believe we did that almost 50 years ago. Life goes on. People always ask me what my favorite part of the trip was, what location was the best. For me it's that area west of Amarillo until Flagstaff, Arizona. Just had the right mix and great topography and interesting local color. Maybe you guys will have another chance to drive it, because I have a hunch in the near future the Route will be slowly disappearing. It's changed so much since 1976 that you could write a compare and contrast book between then and now. Even Tom Teague's book, from the early 90s, was sort of like that, but even that was over 30 years ago. I think nearly everyone he featured in that book is long gone today, even Tom passed away back in the mid-90s. Good luck with your future travels out there.

VERY NICE

OLD IS GOLD THANKS SIR L F mauritius

I had no idea there was a second Virginia City. I only know the one in Nevada.

The mall lacked big name attraction, sure it had a movie theater.

Wow. How does that work?
