| FRANK SLIDE We had no idea this place was on the road ahead of us. Approaching from the east, first you notice the huge field of boulders, then the big gap in nearby Turtle Mountain where the rock evidently fell from, and at length you arrive at the visitors center. We arrived at sunset when the center was closed, but we learned the story from the posted signs. Early in the morning of April 29, 1903, the eastern face of the mountain collapsed, burying a portion of the town of Frank and killing 70 people in an instant. It was a surprise to learn that the tragedy happened so long ago. The field of rocks looks undisturbed and the scar on the mountain fresh - as if it had all take place yesterday. This is a place where I plan to return and give more time to than our flying visit allowed. http://www.FrankSlide.com by Bob Kelly http://www.BobsPacificBeachHouse.com |
