Course

The Gregg River forms at the confluence of a number of minor creeks near the Cardinal River Coal Mine, at the base of Mount Sir Harold Mitchell. The river then flows northwest, taking on a number of tributary creeks before joining the McLeod River, which in turn flows into the Athabasca River. The Gregg is bridged by Alberta Highway 40.

gollark: If not, you should check what formats it can import from, because it can maybe be converted.
gollark: Wow, it seems like this application is just using XML as a really poor and inefficient JSON substitute.
gollark: I'm not actually old enough to vote, and in any case the only party which appears to actually care about this is the Liberal Democrats, who are not doing well in Parliament.
gollark: Yes. Democracy in action.
