Sentinel before Bridge Crooks

Sentinal March 2005- Sept 2005

We lived on the Trotz property then.

In the green house, right next to the Rum Runner Roost. Oddly, or as spirit is - "our house" is the only house left. It has been painted and upgraded and from what I understand it is where the caretaker of the property stays. All of the other houses were demo'd and the cabins sold and removed. We saw one in Bellevue with the top cut off. I guess it was cheaper to saw off the top of the cabin then to have the wires from the poles to get that cabin to its new home.

Cabins mentioned above.

We loved it there.

This is where the head waters of the Crowsnest Lake lies.

My daugther Emily says this is her mountain, Sentry; I am sure many feel that way. This is the view of Sentry from the old power station side next to the lake.

This picture always takes me to another time and place...Atlantis!

These are views of Sentry from our front window; from our yard.

We saw the For Sale sign and Mrs. Trotz said, oh it's been for sale before. Then we saw the Sold sign and she said, oh it's said Sold before-show me the money and then it's sold! We both told her, you'll see the money.

Living in the clouds.

The moon rising over the mountains.

Everyone loved the energy there. The Crozier girls on Canada Day 2005.

The view of Crowsnest Mountain and the Seven Sisters from our back yard.

I love this picture. Michael caught this early morning on the bridge.

The arrival of the geese at Crowsnest Lake.

The sun peeking over the mountains.

Can't you just feel the energy?

As for us, we thought it would be the ideal location for a holiste care center. The energy for that is so tremendous. When we heard of the plans from the developer; I could only say-it's all about the money. The planet is in such a sad state for it's all about the money. On the other hand, with the lack of development in all this time; perhaps our dream of the holiste care center and recovery center will still happen here. :)

We would not change having had the opportunity to live there on the Trotz land. It's a precious memory. And that's the way it goes.

Feb 6, 2009 Snow Storm

After a week in the 50s, Friday afternoon the winds changed and brought us a snowstorm.

We awoke to several inches of snow so we went out to investigate. Lila's domain atop the existing snow pile out back.

Trees in front of the train display, below the Powder Keg Snowhill.

Another view of the trees and the ski hill in Blairmore.

Trees across from our apartment.
