We caught word that there were two historic buildings in southern Alberta slated to be demolished in the very near future. We did what any normal people would do, we made plans to spend the day driving around to see them — that is what normal people do, right?

Our total trip was nearly sixteen hours and we covered 722km. Given that this was our last chance to see these buildings before they disappear forever, I shot a lot of footage so this episode really needed to be split into two parts.
