GUEST,allan ayers	Lyr Add: Ballad of the Frank Slide (Robert Gard) (15)	RE: Lyr Add: Ballad of the Frank Slide (Robert Gard)	24 Apr 22
In 2002 I flew from England to Calgary … i had blindfolded..put a pin in an Atlas ..and promised myself I would go to ……. it landed on Crows nest pass. ( had not a clue where it was .. so flew to Calgary .. hired a car and drove the pass. Saw a turn off for Frank slide All alone , no one else around and awed and humbled by first taste of Canada… and the awful feeling of walking on huge boulders over buried people and houses. Sat down on rusted old machinery to roll a cig. .. and a Chipmunk sat next to me and Chattered.. I had only seen Walt Disney chipmunks .. I thought they were as big as cats! not tiny and charming. For three months I travelled Prince George to El Paso and New Orleans . I am 74 .. but the Majestic Rockies , Crows nest pass and Frank slide will be with me until I shuffle. Canada … what a glorious Country!
