Canada Day In Drumheller, Is There Anything Better? https://www.byteseu.com/1158230/ #Agriculture #alberta #AlbertaNews #Canada #drumheller #DrumhellerNews #DrumhellerOnline #News
June #running recap: compared to May I have 245.3 → 245.9mi (255.1 w/ walking), EG 3,609 → 3,728ft, 36 → 37hr running.
This was stable from May, and 45.9mi above my monthly 200mi goal. During the month I ran my 2nd #marathon #race this year (#UW #Drumheller water fountain race) and two 50+K runs on consecutive Sundays, setting distance record to 35.28mi!
I'm at 1,454.7 of yearly goal 2,400mi, 264.6 ahead. My 3rd marathon race this year is in August (https://www.tunnelmarathon.com). Onward!
@northernlights @cwicseolfor @NMBA The mayor of #Drumheller is spewing separation talk and offering great support for #ABDanielleSmith. Given that Drumheller is such a popular tourist spot for Canadians, boycotting, tourism there speaks more strongly to Canadians’ disagreement with that kind of rhetoric. Not even taking into account that Alberta is on Cree Nation land, and treaties # 6, 7 and 8 cannot be violated by premier Smith.

Let's not forget either that this location is one of the quickest and easiest to find clean and properly-stocked public #washrooms if you're a visitor.
Add to that local maps and knowledgeable desk staff and frankly it is a great way to be welcomed to an unusual place.
I read a book once on the RCMP's first-ever undercover agent and was shocked to discover it more or less gets going in #Drumheller, as the police considered miners and their workplaces to be hotbeds of communism.
IIRC, somewhat hilariously, while the agent had to work FT as a miner, he was required to fork over his substantial mining pay amd live off police wages, which didn't help so mich with fitting in and keeping cover.
#Alberta, amirite?
Another shameless plug:
As an occasional visitor to this and other historic sites in the #Drumheller Valley, I really appreciate the folks who take on these positions and help keep the memories of those times and experiences alive today!
Great place to visit, and great interpreters on site!

For today's #fossilfriday , here's a trace fossil, Ophiomorpha! These are the traces of burrows originally made by crustaceans. The nodules on the outside are the fossilized remains of the crustacean's faeces, which are used to strengthen the side of the burrow. This behaviour can also be seen in modern-day ghost shrimp.
These were found near the boundary of the Bearpaw / Horseshoe Canyon formations.
Folks in #Alberta who want to see an #IronLung #Ventilator in-person can visit the Homestead Antique Museum in #Drumheller (the geodesic-dome shaped museum), as well as the Reverend Forbes Homestead and Hospital Museum in #GrandePrairie.
(Perhaps other sites as well? These are all I know of.)
Some lovely pieces of petrified wood! Found in Midland Park in Drumheller, AB, just a few minutes down the road from the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology
