It's a bit of a haul to Brandon from here. We are about 1/2 hour south of Winnipeg on highway 75, heading for Fargo, ND.

There is a wrecking yard out in Brandon that had a couple of early Acadians, but I heard he had crushed them. Hope that's not true.

i'll tell ya story that any car guy will not like. in the early 70's just outside brandon on the road south to shilo some company rented a farm and bought up all the scrap steel from the local farmers and then crushed it. i was a teenager at the time and still remember the stacks of vintage steel that they bought up. they bought up everything, old farm equipment, cars and trucks from all years, you name it and it was metal. this didn't happen over night, it happened over a period of say 6 months. i sometimes wonder what got lost in that move to clean up the farms.
