[edit] Rubble Creek boulder field

Almost inserted mention of this but couldn't work it in comfortably without too much work; it's late. But when you're in Garibaldi, or just north of it along the highway, the presence of teh Rubble Creek boulder field is a reminder why Garibaldi got evacuated; it was a very controversial thing, hotly debated and loudly condemend at the time.

[edit] First Nations community at Water Tank

Water Tank is more or less where Pinecrest is now; so named for obvious reasons, top of the grade for the old steam locomotives, or at least the worst part of it. According to OldManRivers there was a joint Lil'wat-Skwxwu7mesh community here until it was wiped out by a landslide....makes me wonder if it was a Barrier landslide, and if it was the Barrier or what it was; not sure if the village he's tlaking about was Watertank; I know of it from Chubb Pascal's old columns in the local rag - no, not Chubb, geez I wish I could remember this guy's name...Clarence maybe; so bad it was great; anyway hopefully OMR can add some Skwxwu7mesh aspects to the Barrier, if any, and fill in or de-confirm the story/notion that it was the Barrier's letting go in the 1850s that destroyed aforesaid village.Skookum1 (talk) 07:04, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
