Sure looks like it. That's one hell of a landing strip

People often say Saskatchewan is the flattest, most boring province. But having done the trans-Canada drive a few times, I have to disagree and say that Manitoba is far more boring. Heck, you can get through Sask in less than a day. It seems like you're in Manitoba forever.

I would hope you could get through the province in under a day, I've driven from Saskatoon to Vancouver in a day.

About 21-22 hrs if things go well iirc

Well, by "a day", I meant daylight hours...I'm a terrible long distance driver, mind you.

1990, we left Saskatoon about 9:00PM heading to backpack the West coast trail. Used my brother’s 87 diesel Ford van. Arrived in Langley about noon. Long day, because I had worked the day we left. I did get 1 hour of sleep when our friend spelled me off.

Left in the morning, arrived early evening (still light out). Did not adhere to posted speed limits in my road runner.

this is the Dorman hotel in Mineral wells burning December 1975, the hotel was originally built in 1905.

The mopar connection? There’s a sweptline in the parking lot

Also looks like a Monaco in the foreground and that service truck looks like it could be a 64-71 cab.

Good eye! I didn’t catch the service truck

Looks like the swepty is unscathed. Normally I would figure cause of fire due to dash fire in sweptline due to previous owners expert wiring modifications.

The building is what’s on fire, the sweptline is just hanging out in the parking lot
