M-Bob, I took the liberty of removing the back seat and replacing it with a big ol' Lay-Z-Boy recliner reserved just for you.

Today the sober bus will swing by Onanole,Manitoba and take a look at it's giant Elk statue.

The chosen symbol of the community, this Elk monument stands 15.5 feet tall and sports 10 foot antlers.

A Lay-Z-Boy recliner reserved for me! That is the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me. Thank you very much. I promise not to hog it. Everyone on the Sober Bus is more than welcome to use it, just please make sure I'm not sitting in it first. Thank you very much for the gift. Morning all.

Good morning passengers, welcome aboard the bus for another sober day on the highway.

CH, since your always on the bus hours before the rest of us get going, I'm sure M-Bob won't mind you snoozing in his comfy chair.

Today, the ol' bus is going to roll by Pilot Mound, Manitoba

In 1881 a town site was chosen and buildings went up on a 116 foot elevation that could be seen from 16 miles away. The notion being wagon train settlers crossing the prairies would see the township.

But, CPR rail later laid tracks and skirted the town by a mile. So in 1904 a new site was reincorporate and all the buildings were moved. The only structure remaining was the stone bank vault which is still standing today!

It's raining here today.
Please pick me up on my front porch.
A nice sober day wished for all.

Hello fellow Sober Bus riders. I think today I will take a seat in the back and be quiet for awhile.

Evening everyone, thanks for undertaking the driving duties Dragon. It is a muggy day today but as work is over it's not so bad now.

I notice that we are north of 500 posts so I expect a mod will begin a Part 4 soon.

Looks like we've hit the 500 mark again - I would assume the next bus will be taking off from the station as soon as Bob gets it started!
