Sheep Wagon in evening light, Ghostown Blues Bed & Breakfast, Highway 271, 1 km west of Maple Creek, SK

Ghostown Blues Bed & Breakfast, Highway 271, 1 km west of Maple Creek, SK. This is one of two sheep wagons. This wagon required little restoration, as it had been well preserved by a covering that was put over it many years ago. Contents are authentic, including the bed (but with modern mattress), stove, benches, pull-out table, track lamp, shelf, and towel racks. End walls originally were canvas, but Greg replaced with wood because he liked the way it looked. Greg Hisey on the lantern by the door: "That's a CPR coach car light. (It would have been on the) inside of a coach on the CPR railroad, on a passenger car."
