Drumheller


Drumheller. A small, obscure town smack dab in the middle of the bad lands featuring a giant plastic dinosaur on every street corner. The museum was an amazing place. I wonder if one day 2 million years after I'm dead, my bones will be put on display for whatever the dominating species is then to pay ten dollars to walk by and try to imagine what I'd looked like with skin. I can only hope.


Miles of half decayed mountainous hills composed of layers and layers of sedimentary rock, hiding things from a billion years ago and further. It's like stepping straight into a historical world that existed long before the concept of time did. The whole place is a giant time capsule that thrives off what the rest of the world has forgotten.
