Three gas (petrol) pumps on a concrete island under a sign that reads: "Gas Bar" in huge blue capital letters. Each pump has a different sign for what it serves; one diesel, one regular and one premium. Each has a sloping top that looks like the roof of a house, wide chests, and square 'bodies' with pumps at either side ready to draw as if a gun fight. In fact, the whole scene is very Americana. To the left of the pumps is an old fashioned sign that looks as if it can be illuminated, rising up from behind a trash can, and with the vertical word "Diesel" in yellow. On the left of the sign, three words appear in a row: "Gas" "Liquor" & "Groceries" (which according to tRump is itself an old fashioned word FFS!) and then to the right the partial words "70 Mil" and "Stor" is seen also in a row. (The place is called "70 Mile House", and obviously "Stor" is for "Store"). Behind the pumps, which we can see through, as they are separated by a couple of feet as they stand in a row, is a low, long motel building, cream with a red roof, on the right of which the word "Restaurant" can be seen, and on the left, "Motel". Off in the distance, to the right of it there is a camper van parked, and here is a hint of fir trees to the left, the sky is unsettled; covered with grey and white clouds with the odd blue flash breaking through. Extra info: 70 Mile House is a community in the Cariboo region of British Columbia, Canada. It's located on Highway 97, approximately 155 km northwest of Kamloops and 133 km south of Williams Lake. The name originates from its distance from Lillooet, which was Mile 0 on the old Cariboo Wagon Road.
