Chapter 03 - Against the Rules

Travel Directions:
From Hwy 1 (Trans-Canada Hwy), take Morley Road, Exit 131, north 3.6 km to Hwy 1A, turn left (west) on 1A, 12 km to “Buffalo Paddock” sign. Turn left (south) at the “Peacekeepers” building, 0.8 km to gate, then go 1.5 km beyond the gate to the site (past the vandalized building with the flat roof and the “MEN” sign on the front at approximately 0.7 km, then an additional 0.8 km). The site is on the right (south) side of the road. Note: The last 1 km of this road is rough; walk it if your vehicle can’t stand it.

[Alternately, if you are coming from the cliffs at Seebe, turn right (north) onto 1X (the road you came in on), go 2.1 km to intersection of 1A; go right (east) 8.8 km; turn right (south) at “Peacekeepers” building, proceed as directed above.]

The park is officially closed during wintertime though access by foot is feasible, weather permitting. You might want to contact Ray Greenwood, (403) 881-2614, for access arrangements, which may require payment of a $5 fee. Security guards in the area have been known to save paperwork by collecting fees from visitors on the spot.

Remarks:
“Truth is,” the coyote is really a dog! Animal wrangler Tom Bews Jr. knows all the tricks of his profession and, with a bit of fur highlighting, was able to make this Calgary stunt dog “look right.” A retired rodeo cowboy himself, Bews also provided the film’s horses, sheep, cattle, elk, and bear.

Quotation:
“Dammit!”
