Pion-Era Trek

It was Geordie's plan to have 4 horses pulling the wagon as seen in the following photo but he found that the back horses would step onto the heels of the front horses as they traveled so he abandoned that idea.

The following clip is from the Melfort Journal as Geordie prepares to leave for Saskatoon.

I would like to thank Kirk Wallace from the Saskatoon Western Development Museum for sending me the following pictures of "Geordie" Stewart as he celebrated Pion-Era by traveling from Melfort to Saskatoon. The following is an undated newspaper article that was probably published the early part of July 1955 in the Saskatoon Paper.When Geordie arrived in Saskatoon he complained to the mayor because there were no water troughs to water the horses.
