Caches & Tunnels

No brilliant sunshine today, mostly overcast, but it was very warm and no sign of rain. The attraction we really wanted to see, the Tunnels of Moose Jaw, didn't open until noon on Sundays so Barb and I played tourist at the visitor centre. We saw Mac the Moose (at 32 feet tall and weighing in at 10 tons he's touted as the world's largest moose) and the trolley that tours the city, which wasn't running on a Sunday this early in the season.  :-(

Since the trolley wasn't running, we went and did some caches instead.  :-)

After lunch, we went to the much anticipated Tunnels of Moose Jaw. There were two tours, the Chicago Connection (to do with Al Capone and the bootleggers) and Passage of Fortune (about the Chinese immigrants). We opted for the former. It was interesting, but a bit disappointing, in that we were expecting more history and less campy theatrics. We really only went through one tunnel under Main Street, and spent most of the time in cellars that had been outfitted with obviously later addition false doors and bootlegging paraphernalia. No cameras allowed, so here's a shot gleaned from the internet.

Tomorrow we pull up stakes and head for Medicine Hat.
