On the way home from Nordegg on June 16th, Anna and I stopped at the site of the former Faraway School. I was getting a little drowsy driving and needed to stretch my legs. Quinn the dog also needed a break. We stopped at the Faraway School site. The sign indicates that the school was closed fifty years ago in 1971. The building was burnt down many years ago and not much remains. Just some charred sections of some of the walls, and two old outhouses.
As we wandered around in the former school yard we found a whole bunch Yellow Ladies Slippers. These are beautiful flowers that I have only seen in the wild a few times in the past. One of the other times was in the yard of another abandoned school.....
