Wagon Land Adventure
Posted by Jennifer under carriage collections, history, travel / destinations | Tags: postaday |Leave a Comment
CAA member Eli Anderson has gathered an extensive collection of carriages and other memorabilia of life in the rural West. And he’s working on putting everything together in one place — to be called Wagon Land Adventure — where visitors will be able to get a glimpse of life in the Old West. Fellow CAA member Craig Paulsen, also from Utah, says that Eli “is a wonderful advocate and collector of antique vehicles and a wealth of knowledge.”
Back in December 2010, Craig and fellow members Tom & Gloria Burgess (from Virginia) visited with Eli. If you missed it the first time, or want to see the photos again, you can read about their visit here.

a wagon of a (slightly) different sort

For something a little different, take a look at this video. I don’t know when it was shot, but it appears to have been a TV preview for a three-month journey by wool wagon into Australia’s Outback.

I seem to have missed a day here yesterday. Simply forgot all about it, I’m sorry to say.
Today, let’s head out to South Dakota to watch a couple of original Stagecoaches (restored by Hansen Wheel & Wagon Shop), being driven on the Ft. Pierre-to-Deadwood Trail. One especially interesting segment, I think, is seeing one of them being driven (slowly, slowly) down a steep grade. This looks like it was quite a large gathering, and I only wish the video was longer!
