We started out early in the morning to head for Vernon, and FINALLY we saw all the animals we were wanting too! A group of big horns standing in the middle of the highway, a few deer on the sides of the highway, and a young bear standing on the side of the road with an ambulance. He looked like he'd been hit. poor thing.
We went to Frank slide, which was AMAZING! My photos don't do it justice! its a simply MASSIVE rock slide! Amazing history! We also hit on some Cemeteries around Frank and HillCrest, where the huge mining disaster was. There are simply awesome graveyards! Prairie Dogs are burrowing through the graves. HAHA!

In the HillCrest Cemetery I had been walking around taking pictures (I got some GREAT ONES! Please look) I had been stepping on the Liner lids (the concrete tops) of some of them to squish into some areas for photos and then I went to step up on one and WUMP! it dented in as a I stepped on it - It was PLASTIC! Scared the SHIT OUT OF ME!!
I love the wooden Crosses!

Canada takes a lot of tourism bad rap because people say the country isn't old enough to have a huge amount of interesting history to Explore - that's SO wrong! There is SO much! Frank Slide, HillCrest Mine, Drumheller Dinosaur bone beds, and all that awesome stuff! that was all just what we saw in a WEEK! Most of that in one day even! There is an amazing amount of stuff in BC and Alberta that we discovered.
Did you know that the Most complete T-rex Skull Comes from Crowsnest Pass? HA! its true! Called black beauty because the minerals made the fossil all black.

So amazing!! I took so many photos...
We made it to Vernon and when we pulled up there was a deer in Temples front yard! HAHA! We stayed and chatted a while, Then we headed off. I guess we chatted longer than we thought, and soon realized that we were not going to make it far that night. we grabbed some burger king and tried to find a motel, but they were all either full, seedy or no one was there :B
The Motel was the worst of all of them, but we didnt sleep long and we headed home to Vancouver! we saw one deer today!
Well, I wish it wasnt over, but it is, and i'm back to work tomorrow.
Heres the map.
more...
