On top of 70 Mile Butte. This is more than an historical landmark to anyone who makes the journey. |
The evening primrose has a heavenly scent. |
This is an authentic dinosaur bone that lays exposed and untouched. Why? That's what I love about Canada. Respect. |
Solitude. |
Quicksand is just as we have learned. No way I would step beyond that sign. No way. |
The East Block is so very different from the West Block. No buffalo. No prairie dogs. |
Gorgeous ..peaceful..I would never go near quicksand either.
ReplyDeleteThe quick sand was everything I had ever thought it would be. It was not only this little spot but it continued up the valley like a dry-ish river. All marked. But imagine if you were coming out in a wagon back in the early 1800's. How would you know? The more I learn the more I respect all those brave souls who came west. I have no idea why they risked everything to come into this God forsaken part of the country.
DeleteSpectacular. Imagine negotiating that with a wagon, cattle and kids!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures. Amazing that it really doesn't look any different than what the pioneers would have seen.
