Conglomerate boulder on hilltop
Just about anywhere you look in the valley bottom of the Crowsnest Pass you will find large errant boulders laying about. They have been left, for the most part, where they first landed but sometimes they get shoved off to the side or used for obstructions to keep red necks off of non-motorized trails. There is a remarkable collection of them scattered about in the bush around here, in some of the most unlikely places and they are often visible on the hillsides above the Crowsnest River.
I grew up playing on a huge displaced boulder that is definitely what one would call an erratic. It is a monstrous conglomerate chunk of rock from the Cadomin formation and it sits on top of the hill near my present home in Coleman. The reason I can say it is an erratic is because it doesn’t belong where it is. It is now confined to the Mountain View Industries compound, surrounded by a chain link fence.

Continuing on with Aniela’s story we find her in Alma-Ata in 1942, in Kazakhstan struggling to make her way west. Aniela goes on to say in her memoirs, “In Alma-Ata, we worked in the cotton fields for a while. We lived in a small cottage built of clay and straw. When we lay down at night, we could see the stars shining through the holes in the roof. There, I got sick with a severe case of dysentery, and I thought I wouldn’t survive. One morning, a Russian soldier came to our door and said he was collecting all the Polish people he could find to get them to one place for a transport. The place was near Tashkent. He was sorry to see me so sick. He put us on a wagon and gave us some bread and boiled water to drink.
