You are correct. Thanks for the help as I was having difficulty getting that howling coyote in my sights.
The street view confirms this here. I believe it is just west of I 80 exit 38, between Kimball and Sidney.

Dave,

I don't feel so bad now. That's I part of I-80, that I've only been on a couple of times. If we are going west, we join I-80 at Cheyenne or Laramie. If we are going east we go up I-76.

We have some members that live in this area and they should be able to ID this city.

Sometimes it's a pleasure to visit the main streets of the smaller cities. This is an older city that has had some continued success in maintaining the past for productive use into the future.

These two shots are in opposite directions but can be seen from a single location on the main street of the city.

Hint:
An American city located in a fertile valley that has a sports affiliation with Canada's Pacific Port city.

Too far north, but the yearly total of snow took me by surprise. It is a National Park. Typical opening is 4th of July weekend. The road into the park is snowed in 40' deep and they use a rotary snowplow to clear 1/4 mile a day. With the snow melting into puddles the mosquitos in the campground were like clouds of little flying vampires. Here's a photo from one of the 2 campgrounds.

You see everything Jim.

Sorry I made that one so easy. I did not check it after posting.

The web site I mistakenly tagged on the bottom of the post was to be included with my answer to showcase what some of these old cities are accomplishing to preserve the past for the future.

Lower Genesee Street Historic District, Utica City, Oneida County, Utica NY 13502

The connection hint was to the NHL Vancouver Canucks new AHL team affiliate now based in Utica and called the Comets.
Canucks announce new AHL affiliate in Utica, NY - Vancouver Canucks - News

The Mohawk Valley is another great RV destination point with a rich historical past. Sometimes hard to navigate around the tracks, canals, and rivers, so be sure you take your GPS. Utica was the home of MGW's family back in the good old days when all those brick factory buildings were packed and booming with industry.

Yes! Deepest lake in the US and 7th in the world at almost 2000'. Also famous for it's clarity.

It's a very nice park and surrounding area. It is where Susan and I saw the only fisher we've seen in the wild. It was just loping along the wooded hillside about 30 feet from the road.

This stop was on our 2nd high mileage tour of 2008 heading north east.

To win you must name the town where the mine truck is on display. (The mine truck is now painted BLUE but still there.)

The other photos will give you a clue as we are on route to that town.

If you have traveled this route, you would have had to leave the main road and do the tourist thing and relax at this town's "Heritage Park".

I need another hint on this Post #139 Jim. Left, right, or center.
It looks like an entertainment park or local festivity. But I don't think it is in Lunenburg, NS, the home of the Bluenose? Are those marine masts in the background?
I also don't think it is Dinosaur Park as the landscape is too flat.

The Blunenose was a Schooner that worked the fishing grounds off Nova Scotia.
My hint is ambiguous, but there is a connection, and based on one of your photos, I think you have been passed there. Also, I made an ambiguous reference to the location in the caption thread. Jim

My hints have been too vague.

Flat landscape, that's where a Prairie Schooner, name of my Airstream, would work as apposed to the Bluenose, name of a Schooner that works on the Sea. " big deal, show me the hen" from the November photos and the photo that is the subject of the search. Further west than your bird photo but on the same less travelled route. Birth place of the hockey player hint from your Utica photo. What is that thing in the background? That should do it. Jim

[masseyfarm]

OK I finally get it!
I have been by there but did not stop in town. I see now what I missed!

We always like to make Lloydminster our stop when we travel that route. Guess we will change it up next year.

Bingo. The beautiful thing about this thread are the number of must see locations that are now part of our future and I sincerely thank you for this learning experience.

Vegreville is a very special town that has demonstrated the ability to survive and thrive in a farming environment where other communities are regretfully returning to the soil. Even the bypassing of the town by the Yellowhead Highway did not deal it a death blow which is again a tribute to the community.

The Yellowhead is a more picturesque route across the prairie. I take it frequently, which is why I can identify a rest stop near Minnadosa, which, by the way , is a very beautiful farming community situated in a lush valley. Jim

Ps. Where is Andy's whale?
