A local Antelope grazing on the new Spring grass
The herd is happy the grass is growing again.
Looking up Crescent Heights hill to the NW. Antelope to the right. The Nuns used to walk up this hill in pairs and cross on the pedestrian walkway on their way to the old Convent at the top of the hill, which sadly is not there anymore. It was a sight to see. Half way up this hill used to be some old houses on the right side. As kids we thought they were haunted houses and would play there before they were torn down.
The pedestrian walkway crossing Crescent heights hill. Also this is the corner where the Jan. 1984 Train wreck happened.
In January 1984, the Train had lost it's brakes coming down the hill. At a great speed, the first few cars along with the Engine shot across this Bridge. The rest of the train derailed and crashed all over this site.
The Engine crashed into the yard Engine after crossing the Bridge. That is what stopped it.
Looking across Altawana Drive from the bottle depot, at the path that leads up to Crescent heights NE.
Ok, were done, bottles are recycled!
Hope to see our wilderness friends again next time! What a nice day it was.
