With the recent snowfall, I imagine there has been some complaining that the highway to Wembley is not bare and dry, a situation we seem to expect these days. In 1935, it took four men, one car, chains, a team of horses, and shovels to open up the road from Wembley to Grande Prairie in a little under four hours.
