Odd and unusual finds while researching
Research had led me on some interesting trips and I have found unexpected, interesting and even, odd things. I thought I’d share a few with you.
THE OKOTOKS ERRATIC is a 16,500-tonne boulder that lies on the otherwise flat, relatively featureless, surface of the Canadian Prairies in Alberta. Left behind by the ice age. You probably can’t see it, but a young woman is sitting on the rock farthest to the left.
CAPS ON THE FENCE. I have no idea why. Just one of the many odd and unusual things I have seen. It went on for a long ways. I have also seen cowboy boots hanging on fence posts. Lots of boots. Gave a whole new meaning to Boot Hill.
EAGLES OF LIBBY MONTANA
There are something like 54 eagle statues in the town ranging in size from a 6 ft. wing span to several over 25 ft. wing tip to wing tip.
TOPSY TURVY DOLL. Turn the doll upside down to reveal a different doll. Rich girl/poor girl. That sort of thing. Two for the price of one. Double the pleasure, double the fun. A reader told me she had a topsy-turvy doll that was Red Riding Hood on one side, and the big bad wolf on the other. That sounds like fun.
ROSS CREEK CEDARS. Near Libby, Montana. Some 8′ in diameter and 175′ tall. Some have been here since before Columbus set sail for the new world. Look closely and you can see a man in a wheelchair in the middle of the photo.
A FUNNY RUMOR. It’s fun to find touches of humor in my travels. No offense meant to anyone. It’s just for fun.
