Another classic "Chuckwagon" on display at the Remington Museum, of the type used to feed the cowhands on cattle drives and roundups.

This is the style of chuckwagon that ranches at one time used to race against one another, eventually turning "Chuckwagon Racing" into a professional sport. Chuckwagon races have become an integral part of every major rodeo in Canada, with prize money being as high as approximately $250,000 in total during the 10 day long Calgary Stampede.

Coordinates given are for the entrance to the museum.
