Scrambola Camps Three Miles From Calgary

Dick Lewis, Cecil Lewis, and Keith Falconar bought a 1927 "Star Engine" car and split it in half to lengthen it with scrap metal (probably to accommodate their long legs. They called it their "Scrambola" and took it on a trip from Grande Prairie to Banff and back in the summer of 1935. It was painted fire engine red and instead of a horn a fire bell was used to announce their arrival.
