This certainly looks like fun. There was no message written on the back of this card; they were probably too busy having fun at the toboggan slide. Toboggans were a traditional form of transport for the early Innu and Cree tribes of northern Canada.
About Me

- I love antique postcards because they preserve evidence of everyday life as well as celebrations and sad events. Looking at an old postcard is like holding a single piece of a puzzle; we have to imagine the rest. I will try to put up a postcard every day. If you have a special request for a particular city or place, let me know!
Why did they need to build a ramp when they are already on a steep hillside?
ReplyDeleteHallo Christine,

I think the ramp ensures maximum speed without collisions?
ReplyDeleteThat is a great postcard. Love the sleds.

But the ramp is perpedicular to the slope.
ReplyDeleteI guess we'd have to contact those early Ithacans or Cornell University, which is where the slide was located, to find out why they built it that way. I suspect it was because of the preferred landing area at Beebe Lake.
