Travel Directions:
John and Kerry Hart farm, Hwy 520 and Range Road 283,
15.5 km west of Claresholm. From Claresholm, follow 43rd
Avenue (also known as Hwy 520) west 15.5 km. (Beware:
This road takes an abrupt and poorly marked curve at 7.2
km. Don’t make the same mistake Ennis’s parents
did!) Turn left at Range Road 283 and go south 1.3 km.
Turn left again and follow the driveway 0.6 km.
Remarks:
Alma was no Jack, but when the opportunity presented
itself to persuade Ennis to move out of this dump, she
did the best that she possibly could. Although
Alma’s marriage eventually fell apart, her
clothesline and kitchen are still intact and visible at
this site.
The cabin, where Ennis moved after his
divorce, is located on the same property. On the way to
or from the Hart farm, hungry pilgrims might want to
check out Roy’s Place “at the light” in
Claresholm. Roy and Bob serve good food at reasonable
prices.
Important:
Always obtain appropriate permission before entering
private property. Driveway may require four wheel drive /
high-profile vehicle. Use caution.
Quotation:
“Can’t we move to town?”
