11. Frank Slide Interpretive Centre Crowsnest Pass
The Frank Slide was a rockslide that buried part of the mining town of Frank, Northwest Territories, Canada at 4:10 am on April 29, 1903. Over 82 million tonnes of limestone rock slid down Turtle Mountain within 100 seconds, obliterating the eastern edge of Frank, the Canadian Pacific Railway line and the coal mine. It was one of the largest landslides in Canadian history and remains the deadliest, as between 70 and 90 of the town's residents were killed, most of whom remain buried in the rubble. Multiple factors led to the slide: Turtle Mountain's formation left it in a constant state of instability. Coal mining operations may have weakened the mountain's internal structure, as did a wet winter and cold snap on the night of the disaster. The railway was repaired within three weeks and the...

SMALL TOWN Western Chinese Food in CANADA

I took a road trip to visit a friend's restaurant called Ng's Cafe in Beiseker, Alberta for lunch and dinner! Watch as I have some delicious burgers and tasty Chinese buffet on my trip.

*********************

Wikipedia:
Beiseker /ˈbaɪsɪkər/ is a village in the Canadian province of Alberta, approximately 70 kilometres (43 mi) northeast of Calgary. It is considered to be an outermost part of the Calgary Region, and is included within Calgary's Census Metropolitan Area (CMA). The village is surrounded by rural Rocky View County, and the closest neighbouring communities are Irricana and Acme.

Lying in a belt of rich black soil, Beiseker was developed as an agricultural service centre. It was founded by the Calgary Colonization Company, whose purpose was to promote settlement by demonstrating the grain-growing potential of the area. The village's name came from Thomas Beiseker, a partner and vice president of the company.[4] Initial colonization took place in 1908 when the company recruited a number of ethnic German settlers from the Great Plains of the Dakotas. This is reflected in the number of German family names which predominate the area.

The village began to grow in 1910 when the branch line of the Canadian Pacific Railway was completed. In 1910, the first general store was opened in a large two story building which housed the school and dance hall.[5] The Grand Trunk Pacific line - now owned by Canadian National Railway - was constructed in 1912 to the east of the central business district. Telephone arrived in 1912 and electricity in 1928.[6] With the construction and intersection of Highways 9, 72 and 806 at the northeast edge of the village, Beiseker came to have a very favourable location in terms of road and rail access. Since it is located almost equidistant from Calgary and Drumheller, Beiseker began to emerge as a local service and trade centre for the surrounding rural agricultural area. Village status was achieved in 1921.

The surrounding area's great potential for grain-growing is shown by Beiseker's status as World Wheat King Capital, or as a top producing area of wheat.

Hwy 2, riding into the town of Claresholm, southern Alberta.

At times the weather seems to be clearing up, then it becomes hazy and overcast again. Here I am approaching the town of Claresholm from its northern end one mid morning in August of 2015. We then ride through Claresholm to its southern side, as we continue along on Highway 2 towards Lethbridge..

The Beauty of Alberta's Prairies || Rural Alberta in the Summer

Alberta has many amazing features: mountains, foothills, badlands, tundra... and the prairies! Growing up in rural Alberta, I never truly appreciated how beautiful a summer on the prairies can be. This year I attempted to capture Alberta's fields and hills at its finest.

Join Marti from 'Down the Wrabbit Hole Travel' as she takes you along on a journey through the Albertan prairies around her parents' farm, Ritchie Park. I hope you love the the rolling wheat, canola and flax fields waving in the wind and shining in the sunlight as much as I do!

As well, enjoy the second track in this video, written especially for 'Down the Wrabbit Hole' and the Alberta prairies. It is titled 'The Golden Drone' in honour of the bird's eye view of the fields I shot with my drone. A HUGE thank-you (and much respect!!) for Caen Myles Original Songs for composing this hauntingly beautiful piece for the video! Go listen to the entire song here:
