antiques
The Alaska experience definitely includes antique cars and machinery. There is no lack of vehicles abandoned on personal property, but antique relics are also a common sight on both personal and public places.
Chena Hot Springs has a good representation of this and, like many places, dresses them up with flowers.
The snowmobile here is from1959, the first year snowmobiles were built.
No telling what some of the pieces of equipment were for!
Pioneer Park also had some great things including mining equipment. This big thing is a steam operated shovel that actually helped build the Panama Canal, worked in Hawaii and dug sections of the Alaska “water pipeline” which helped operated gold dredges in the Interior. For you fellow Hoosiers, it was manufactured in Evansville, IN!
