That is surely one of the most unique residences in all of Alberta!<br /><br />Speaking of hobbit residences, the last time we were in the village of Rosebud, Alberta (probably about 2-3 years ago now), we saw a home there that was a hobbit hole! Some guy banked over a container (i.e. a sea-can or a box-car or something) with dirt so that it was buried like in a hillside and made a classic round hobbit door as the entrance. Very cool. I took some photos but never got around to posting them on my blog.<br /><br />I like the premise of your blog very much. The small, forgotten places here on the prairies are often full of hidden gems and hidden history!

It's great to see it preserved, giving later generations a chance to see it. There's an old miner's dugout on the Milk River Ridge on the north side of the river. It was owned by a man named "Petronia." He lived alone and worked a small coal mine. Every once in a while he would walk to Milk River with a large sack of coal and return home with a few groceries. I saw the remains of his dugout back in the 60s and all that was left was part of a couple of stone walls and a tiny window frame. I don't know if anything remains of it today. I should go out there and see it while I'm still able. Too many things get put off.
