Our first cache named "Sky Liquid" was placed at the old water tower in Airdrie, Alberta. You've probably seen it as you drive past Airdrie on the Number 2 highway. We think these old relics are quite interesting and definitely give the towns of Alberta a distinctive look, so we plan on placing a few more at different locations and making "Sky Liquid" a series.
This is the Olds College water tower, and it sits in a very nicely kept park area surrounding the college. From here you can look across to see the water tower, slightly to the NE. This one looks in decent shape, and is painted nicely with the "Old College" logo marking the college's centennial. Hard to believe the Olds College is over 100 years old!
From the official Olds College website: "Water towers were once as integral to rural communities as any other structure. Without them, small towns simply could not have existed. With less than 40 municipal water towers remaining in Alberta, Olds College is proud to have one of the few remaining as the focal point of our skyline, paying tribute to the generations who came before us and built up our College and our community."
