Geocache Description:

This series has been put together for you to follow the trail of the Bootleggers “Rum Runners” in the Crowsnest Pass. 

Alberta Provincial Police Stop at Star Creek Bridge (Willow Drive)

Near this bridge the Alberta Provincial Police established a checkpoint to inspect automobiles suspected of carrying illicit alcohol into Alberta from British Columbis during Alberta Prohibition Era from 1916 to 1924. The most infamous checkstop was set up here in September of 1922 after the shooting of Constable Lawson of the Alberta Provincial Police by bootlegger Emilio Picariello and Florence Losandro.
