Reliving a road trip from the great depression era that travels through Swift Current is what two couples are working towards.

Bart and Lisa Campbell and Fred and Teri Holt are driving their late 1920's classic cars from Medicine Hat, Alta. to Hague, Sask. covering over 1,000 kilometres.

"We left with no money, I left my wallet empty," Bart said. "A person gave me a tank of gas in Medicine Hat and another family gave me a picnic basket you see in the back of my car and I knew I was good to Leader. I realized at Leader I gotta figure this out, but it has figured itself out every single day because Saskatchewan people just step up and we've left it at fates hands."

The multi-week journey travelling mostly on Saskatchewan back roads is recreating a 1934 trip that the Fehr family took, to their new homestead, that relied on public generosity.

"So if people think it's changed since 84 years ago, I feel people are just as awesome as they were then, you just give them a chance," Bart said. "I will say it's not been easy for my wife and I to sit on the side of the road and ask for help, that's been very challenging but we're glad we're doing it."

Upon arriving in Swift Current yesterday around noon both cars had some issues that needed to be fixed.

"They had a little bit of head gasket trouble, Fred is pretty mechanically inclined so he nursed it back to town and I think it could be okay," Bart explained. "And I had a speedometer that broke yesterday... And I went and tried to fix my speedometer cable and I got that dealt with at a machine shop fixed it for me and he said here you go and he didn't charge me."

Once the cars were returned to running order the group began to look for work like they had the previous few days on the road.

"We worked at a guys farm one day and then a second day we cleaned up brush for him, so I did those two jobs," Bart said. "Today I worked at Diamond Steel cleaning out the warehouse and sweeping up, and Fred helped with the trees and so did the ladies."

Lisa found work at Diamond Steel as well for the afternoon as a janitor and Fred worked at Herbert Auto Collision.

"I was secretly trying to earn more money than Fred, I was really working hard and I thought I was going to beat Fred today and he earned $50 and I earned $40," Bart said. "I had no idea what he was going to get paid and I really didn't know what I was going to get paid, so he beat me today, but it's not because he's a harder worker, it's because he is lucky."

After finishing work for the day, the four had dinner served to them last night at Mennonite Heritage Village, before spending the rest of the night camping in Kinetic Park.

Within the next two days, the group was hoping to make it to Gravelbourg area and Bart said as long as everything goes well they will make it to Hauge in around 10 days.

"Until you sit in our driver's seat and the heat of the car and the steering is more difficult, you don't really realize how exhausting the trip is compared to when I drove it out with a different vehicle," Bart said. "Anybody here that rides a bicycle you know when you hit that little grad or that little bit of wind hits you, you know it immediately, well these cars know immediately."
