Northbound in Nanton

While on road trips, we take the occasional break, usually in a small town, and stretch our legs. Then as it happens, certainly more than it should, a little trailer appears and this example was captured captured heading northbound in Nanton (Alberta) on the number two. The busy highway runs right through town and something told us it would happen! It was peak camping season after all and the odds in our favour.

This thirteen foot Boler is from the late ’70s or early ’80s period and you can tell as the emblem is a sticker. On older ones it’s a metal plaque. Lucky us, seeing it pass on its journey to where ever and had we been a minute later, we’d have missed it.

Now which way to the Nanton Candy store? Sour gummies! Root beer licorice! No, salt water taffy and big bags of it!

Also shown, a couple scenes from the drive in, a train seen in the town of Barons further south and some old car parked on the grass, captured just minutes before our Boler photo. It’s a big old Buick from the 1970s, a rolling land yacht of such size that the back seat is a long distance call.

Boler: A small cute-as-a-bug fibreglass camping trailer made in Canada in the 1960s to 1980s and we make a fun game spotting them on road trips or adventures. We’ll also include similar trailers from other manufacturers that are close in appearance or configuration to Bolers.
