Saw a eagle wagon heading South on Sarcee trail at the bow trail intersection on Saturday the 19th. I was driving my '74 J20 heading North and honked but it only freaked out the Nissan in front of me. :P

Was in good shape, little to no rust at all from what I saw as I drove past. Was it anyone's here? ;)

What color was the car, and what time of day was it?

I'm just trying to remember if I was out and about on Saturday... don't think I was ever on Sarcee Trail though.

That's very close to where I live.  I could have been driving around that day.  

Did it look like this car?



If that's the Eagle you saw, that was me.  I might have heard you honk, but I probably chalked it up to somebody honking at me 'cause I wasn't speeding up fast enough.  LOLOL.

Cool.  Yup, that was me, but I thought that was Sunday??  no matter.

do you live nearby, or use that route often?   You should show me a pic of your J20 so I know what to look for...

So you can distinguish it from the hundreds of other J-trucks still on the road?  ;)

If you see one not owned by Duane or Charlene, then chances are it's Ostego.  :)

Ok, well then I'm gonna have to look up what a J-truck looks like 'cause I can't remember.   Anyways, color and other things like a cap/no cap, roof lights, etc always help. 

I don't usually recognize them till probably 5 minutes after I've passed them.

I remember seeing pictures of your vehicles and it looked like you were in a rural area.  Where exactly in Alberta are you?

There's more than this - Mechanic, Duane, Hemlokk (he's away for a year)... El Matador could name more members that are here.  There's something like 6-8 members or more?

Dean?  you wanna chime in here... do you know how many members are here in Calgary alone?
