Neptune, Saskatchewan

There is nothing in Neptune, Saskatchewan. No sign marks where it once stood and there are no remains that I could see. Google Maps will show you where it used to exist.

There is a school marker. Close to the school marker on the other side of the road and a little south is a maintained cemetery with no name on it. Why someone chose Neptune as a name for a place on the prairie would be interesting since it is so far from the ocean.

Near Canadian Forces Base Suffield

It is a big base with a lot of space. The manoeuvre training area covers close to 1,600 square kilometres. Driving alongside it on Highway 884 there is a lot of empty space on either side. On the east side of the highway you see a lot of Department of Defence signs stating Danger and No Trespassing. You usually see antelope which tend to ignore the signs and the fence. 

All that remains of . . .

Senate, Saskatchewan. A sign and nothing else.

 

Alberta fall

 

Cessford, Alberta stone house

This is a little south of Cessford. I drove by here on September 5, 2021 on my way home from Saskatchewan. Every few years there seems to be a little less of this house.

There is a nice write up here.
