the darkerside to rants

Rummaging through some things and “taking stock” I came across this video back from 2005, almost three years ago. I could write a lot about how I feel right now with regards to this and other things, but I reserve that for a later post.

Here’s my original notation:

This is a film of a drive up Rogers pass in early October 2005.

Rogers Pass is the pass (elevation 1330 m) through the Selkirk Mountains of British Columbia used by the Canadian Pacific Railway and the Trans-Canada Highway. The pass is a shortcut across the “Big Bend” of the Columbia River from Revelstoke on the west to Donald, near Golden, on the east. The pass was discovered on May 29, 1881 by Major Albert Bowman Rogers, a surveyor working for the Canadian Pacific Railway.

Rogers Pass is in the heart of Glacier National Park, in the midst of mountains popular for ski mountaineering and mountain climbing ever since the region became accessible in 1886. The location has tourist services including a visitors centre, hotels and National Park services.
