Project! We Need Pictures

These pics are taken in Rockyford, Alberta. These are the scenes where Jack is riding in the rodeo and also meets Laureen. This area is supposed to be 2 different rodeo grounds in the movie..one in Childress and the other one in Electra. They just used the same area...only difference was they put up boards over the steel fence to make the rodeo grounds look different. In the second pic I'm standing in front of the chute where Jack came out of (#4).

In this shot I climbed up to the announcer area and just had to get a shot that was from the movie! It was very cool looking out from there...I could almost see Jack sitting there on the end of his truck as Laureen raced by and dropped her hat! The scond pic is where Laureen and Jack "park their car"! :laugh: It's actually right by the rodeo grounds. You can make out the small shack that they parked by in the movie.

Hey, glad you like the pics guys. I'll post more up as I get time. I had alot of fun touring these sites...made me feel closer to the movie and I'm not done yet. Next weekend I plan on goin back to the mountains to find the camping sites. But actually what I really want to do is tour Wyoming! Afterall thats where the story takes place. I've been there a couple of times but have never gone near the Teton mountains. We plan to travel there next summer...I'll have to take my cowboy hat with me and take some pics of myself in front of the real mountains! ;D

This pic here is where they shot the dance hall scene with Jack and Randall sitting outside talking on the bench. It's actually a CIBC bank in Rockyford, AB. Nothing was shot inside. The inside scenes were shot at the Royal Canadian Legion builing in Calgary. I wanted to sit on the bench where Jack and Randall sat but they moved it to the opposite side...dohhh!! >:( ;)

Here is the Riverton post office (in Rockyford, AB) that Ennis picked up the famous postcards that read "you bet" & ...sadly "deceased". The brick building beside it is now replaced with a newer building and the adornments of the post office are now gone. I tried to look in but the glass is all painted black and it's all locked up. The phone booth across the street where Ennis phones Laureen that's in front of the JT Bar is nowhere to be seen..possibley a prop.
