On April 29, 1903, the deadliest landslide in Canadian history blew out the east face of Turtle Mountain in southwestern Alberta, killing over 70 people in the town of Frank. This disaster is known as The Frank Slide. Turtle Mountain is about 250 km south of Calgary.

I’ve been in Ottawa for about two months, renovating the condo we own in order to rent it out, and never intended to stay this late in the year. I still have to drive west across the US, back to Oregon to start renovating our new house there. The snowfall gives a swift kick in the butt to get on the road, and a little anxiety about what it’s going to be like driving through the mountains.
