CBC.ca posted an article about 2 men who recently toured Alberta in the truck from Brokeback Mountain:
Bob and Jeff Welsh, a father and son from Indiana, won an auction on eBay for a tour of the Brokeback Mountain sites in the 1950 pickup truck used in the movie.The article also mentions the father's enjoyment of the trip:
"Great scenery ... lot of friendly people and absolutely stunning," Jeff Walsh said after spending Saturday touring the Kananaskis area where the mountain scenes were shot.
"It was really interesting now that on some of the scenes we've looked at how close they were to the roads. So you know there was just a couple of scenes where we had to walk off on a trail and not for a great distance," he told CBC Radio.
"I'm a little 76-year-old guy. In 1950, I had a truck just like that ... brand new ... $1,100. But at any rate, I enjoyed riding in the truck — I enjoyed driving the truck — brought back old times."Check out this link for the full article and a video (Real Media) from CBC.
The tour was also the perfect way to spend time with his movie-loving son.
On Sunday, they visited the Rockyford and Carseland areas, where the bank, rodeo and bar scenes were filmed.
