Around the gold rush town

Still more pics of the town on our tour.Driver turned out to be a thespian and put on plays,magic shows and recites poems from the early 1800s quite the character he is.
They get all their supplies by barge and railway and as soon as they are off loaded the shops are nearly bare of products.
He said they pay $5.00a gallon for fuel compared to our $8.00 gallon and they believe their paying too much for it wow when we told him our prices his mouth was agape and he said he ain't complaining about it any more.The cost of food Doz eggs $12.00,pint carton milk 8.00 and meat up to $20.00 a pound.
Hospital is one building and has up to 2 permanent nurses and 6 on call who help out ,1 dentist,fire chief,police seargent,and dispensary (chemist) and 4 ambulances to which the nurses drive,now if you get sick they will stabilise you so you can be air lifted out of town to the hospital probably vancouver.
Very interesting town.もっと詳しく
