Day in Nordegg

We were home on the long weekend and took a day-trip with our friends Travis and Joanna to Nordegg, a historic coal-mining town that closed in 1955. It's in the Rocky Mountains.

Joanna's grandfather plus several of his brothers were some of the miners who worked there. The town is being restored.

We looked up the house where her grandparents lived.

We checked out old buildings...

and old cars...
and old bridges and barns and mine shaft entrances, etc.
All in all, it was a great day!
