more camping pics






These pictures are from the two places we stopped on our way to go camping. They kinda came up out of order but oh well. Anyway, one place we stopped was Lundbreck Falls, which speaks for itself in the pics. It was really beautiful. The other place we stopped was Frank Slide. Apparently, back in 1903, the coal miners of the town of Frank were asleep in their camp at the bottom of this mountain and early in the morning a enormous chunk of limestone one kilometre wide, 425 metres long and 150 meters deep, broke free from the mountain and slid down the mountain, burying everything and everyone in it's path. Anyway, it was very interesting to see how much rock and debri are still there. They had to rebuild the road and railroad that the slide took out but the rocks across the road from the slide go on for as far as you can see. The pics really don't do it justice.
