The Clare Ladder Truck

Given where we went to try and catch the train, we ended up taking US-127 up to Mackinac instead of our normal way.  This put us past Clare.  My friend had never had Cops and Doughnuts before, so we had stop in Clare.  I quickly remembered that they had their St. Patrick's stuff on Saturday.  It was still kind of cool.

 One of the things participating in the parade was the Clare Fire Department ladder truck.  Fire trucks are pretty cool.

 It was even cooler that they were waving to me.

 Not quite sure why Clare would need a ladder truck.  I'm guessing it would be for grain elevator fires or something that tall.

Oh well, it is still pretty cool.
