“MACHINES” (Motors, Gears, Computers, Electronics, Wires, Phones…)
Vehicles developed for tourism of glaciers in the Columbia Icefields located in the Jasper National Park in Alberta Canada.
Early snow coach
Next generation snow coaches.
2008 version
Tires are about 5′ tall. Moved well over the ice without damage to the eco system.
And the machine that took us on our 6014 mile adventure.
Make sure you join the fun of all the machines over at:

The machine is too big when the wheels are bigger than me! Some of my brother’s farm equjipment now fits in that category.

Well, I guess we just road next to the glacier and the snow pack. We do have a bottle of water we collected from the glacier up on our shelf. We fell in love with Canada.

That’s interesting ! I have never seen such snow coaches ! I have to say that in Belgium we seldom have a lot of snow !

We do not get below freezing very often in this area. That was part of the fun of the trip to Canada and seeing the ice fields.

Janice, finally connecting with you after you’ve made so many comments on my blog! Thanks for your encouragement. Looks like you have a couple of interesting blogs too. We were at the ice fields with our kids nearly 30 years ago.

I promise I am not a stalker! Just a retiree with an appreciation for all things in Canada … and time on my hands. My attention was drawn to your blog due to your location near the Georgian Bay. Our grandsons spend part of each summer in the area of Pointe au Baril on the Georgian Bay.
