Something wasn’t right. My quest to find the 2,000-year-old beast reputed to be the oldest living thing in Alberta was turning into a frustrating endeavour. A couple of hours of sauntering along the ragged, wind-ravaged North Saskatchewan shoreline yielded nothing significant. Sure, I located a few gnarled and twisted specimens. Old trees, no doubt. But definitely not a “tree of renown.” (And my source said, “you will definitely know it when you see it.”) I kept walking, searching, hoping, a marooned sailor stumbling on a half-remembered shore.
Indeed, my search for the acclaimed Whirlpool Point limber pine was, in the waning grey-light at day’s end, losing steam. But then, in the gathering gloom, I rounded a corner and lifted my eyes to the opposite bank. Jackpot! The great and gothic thing a tangled, twisting mess the likes I had never seen looked straight out of the Lord of the Rings.

The Idaho County Sheriff’s Office says a Riggins family who failed to return home Sunday from a sledding trip has been located safe.
According to the sheriff’s office, 32-year-old Everett Vannatta and 37-year-old April Sorrell and four juveniles went sledding Sunday up Allison Creek off of the Big Salmon Road.
A family member contacted authorities when the group didn’t return home Sunday evening.
An Idaho County deputy searched the Allison Creek area Sunday but was able to make it only 3 miles up the road before having to turn around because of deep snow.
An Idaho County Search and Rescue team was dispatched to the area, but the sheriff’s office says after being stranded overnight the family made it out on their own and called in from Riggins Monday morning. (Lewiston Tribune)
