I'd still rather be there than stuck in Birmingham!

Mountains of the Liard Mountain range. on the way to K-29 one of the largest Pockets of gas in North America

Looking out towards the Fire tower from the BELP, Gas Bar, Powerplant parkinglot.. on a beautiful winters morning.

A beautiful sunset from beside the Beaver Enterprises in the community of Fort Liard, NWT

The view from a pull out along the Liard Highway during the winter

A cliff in Fort Liard, NWT.

This cliff is rumored to have been where the Echo Dene had once set up they're camp in the Old days during the war with the Nahanni people. There used to be a red leakage on the cliff, where as the story goes. Is the stain of the blood left from one such interaction. While the Echo Dene hunting party was out on the path, another warring tribe ambushed the woman and children and animals of the settlement and drove them off the cliff. The stain is a representation of the travesty that was done there.

Upon returning the Warriors were so angered that they followed the attackers home and almost completely decimated the larger tribe.

I wish I had the real information on the who's and when's, but i'm sure someone else can fill in the information later.. and my apologies to whom the story offends as i'm sure there are many, many versions, and outcomes to the spoken history

A view from the air of Fort Liard, NWT. you can see the dark black Petitot River flowing into the quicker flowing, thus murky, Liard River

On the way down the hill into Fort Liard, NWT.

You can see the sleeping Giant in the background. his chest on the left, then his chin, open mouth, and nose on the right
