I never developed the attraction to the older style buses, having grown up in this area where there were no bus lines just the late night greyhound going thru and that was in town where we very seldon went it never was a part of my childhood so I never developed the love of them or the memories that so many others have.  What we did have tho were the steam locomotives that the lumber companies used to bring the logs into the mills from the landings all over the woods so steam whistles and the chuff chuff chuff were a sound I grew to love, respect and look forward too, many of the mills had them and we still have the old tracks and grades running thru the woods where the skanee house is, even several old trestles going over creeks and rivers and swampy areas. The towns didn't have innercity bus lines or even bus lines connecting the neighboring towns, actually we didn't even have innercities, only main street and what was on either side of it lol.  Parade routes on the 4th were easy to find, they would be going down the one street lol.

We had to stop the yearly parade of homes because the front one always got a flat tire. It would mess up Harold Dill's run to the liquor store for hours, and that was only 50' from his house!

Was he PICKLED?

Yep small towns were great dallas, we used to go into town on friday night, that was the night we got groceries, did our visiting, all on the same trip, we lived about 20 miles out of town, skanee wasn't an actual town, it more was a rural area that had a collection of houses scattered over a wide area, the nearest kid to me was 8 miles away and there was one other home on the lake but it was only a summer home and they would be there after school let out until the end of august, they had a boy my age so it was great in the summer but after august they would leave and we would be the only house on the lake the rest of the year, we never got bored tho, we stayed busy but because we were so far out in the woods we could hear the steam locomotives in the distance where they were logging, it's amazing how far a steam whistle will carry, in the evening the wolves howling would replace the whistles lol.  The company we got was pretty much the bears, moose, chipmonks or whatever else wandered thru the yard and now and then a car that was lost or maybe somebody coming out to visit, most of them were lost tho lol.
