Yesterday By Callym

Dear Friends, 

 from Callym,

Today we left Calgary and went to Cowboy Trail.  We went to the Big Rock and climbed onto it. We saw a big dog that looked like a wolf and I was a little scared.  We took some pictures and then kept driving to Frank Slide. 

 When we got there we ate lunch by snacking. Twinkle was in the car...

 

We went to the interpretive centre and here are some things I learned.   

It happened in 1903 and lasted around 20 seconds and it covered half of the town.  The rocks went all over the town and sadly many people died.  It was really cool and we learned that some people thought a flood happened, freight train came thru or an explosion in the mine happened but it wasn’t.  What really happened was that the mountain was not stable so it came crashing down one day.  They still think the other side will fall and are keeping track of it.  

Here we are learning about how the Earth moves.

And seeing a cool map of the area with lights to tell you what is what.

 After that we went to the gift shop and Oscar and I got a bottle of gold and I also got a bug fossil and Oscar bought a tree pencil.  After we went to Fernie for lunch. Here is a photo my mom found on the wall about Twinkle!
