"A brand new Cranbrook resident with a craving for beef dip recently queried the Facebook group for tips on the best beef dip in town. I was shocked at the absolute multitude of beef dip options that exist for us residents along highway 95, eh.

"Wandering around high in the woods wearing camo sweatpants and a neon orange toque is obviously some big Hillbilly Energy, but suddenly it hits me. I’m wandering around in the forest, in the spring, completely alone and not making a sound: this is DUMB CITY SLICKER energy and I need some damn bear spray.”
If you ever find yourself looking for a way to spend the day that doesn't involve anything too strenuous (maybe your dad has a bum knee too?) or if you just want to walk around pretending you're a character in Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman, hit up Fort Steele.
