New road continuing heading north

So just around the corner I was surprised to see the heritage house was gone....but wait there it is out of the corner of my eye, moved 20 feet away and is now hiding just behind the trees on the left.

and here is the gully

and up the other side

New stuff will be happening just around the corner where the new road should appear once again

Slow

oh look it's going up there

RR runs alongside

Higher

why so high?

leveling out now

another detour

 

So nice and quiet on a Sunday but bumper to bumper trucks during the week

Looking good and the rest of the plan should go more or less straight through here

Stay tuned for exciting new section near my house that just opened to traffic.

A new road through my 'hood

A couple of views of the Fraser River and New Westminster

Lots of homes were torn down but this one is a heritage house for sale $1.00 Buyer just has to take it away.

While another one bites the dust

I took the following pics heading south on River Road

something big happening here, couldn't look, i was driving

This road started out as River Road, changed to South Fraser Perimeter Road for this project and when completed will be called Hwy 17. Its going to be 4 lanes, 40 kms. long linking 3 freeways in the lower mainland of B.C.

The new road goes under the Alex Fraser Bridge

and through a sawmill

Have to turn on a detour now

Looks like a new pub maybe

New road will continue. Stay tuned for tomorrows pics heading north.

Northwest Deuce Days

 Since 2000, Northwest Deuce Day has been growing in popularity.

The first event was held in Victoria B.C.’s Oak Bay Village. In 2002, the event was moved to Chilliwack, B.C. and grew in size with over 80 1932 Fords in attendance.

In 2004, it moved back to Victoria's and its inner harbour and featured 127 1932 Fords.

Then, in 2007, again at Victoria's inner harbour, the big show to commemorate the 75th anniversary of The Deuce. This show would feature over 400 1932 Fords of the 761 registered.

2010
In 2010, the event was, once again at the Inner Harbour and we had another terrific turnout. Because of the popularity of the event, it became a three-day event and the name was changed to Northwest Deuce Days (from Day).

2013
For 2013, there was once again the Friday activities, a Gala Banquet, and, of course, the main attraction on Sunday at the Inner Harbour with 477 Deuces registered and 600 other street rods in attendance.

Visit from a family of bandits

This is a bumper year for raccoons in Delta. The reason for so many sightings of the cute little masked bandits is that garbage cans in Delta are home owner purchased of  many varieties and most are not raccoon proof and are easily tipped over. The adjoining city of Surrey supplied all their residents with 'coon proof cans a few years ago. In their infinite wisdom the city then proceeded to feed the raccoons until this year when the easy food suddenly and mysteriously stopped being supplied.Now these hungry animals have been arriving into the Delta in great numbers anxious to tip over cans to find the junk food they've become accustomed to. Not a problem for us as we never put our cans out until pickup day but then we do have a pond that attracts them as well as dry food left out on the deck for a couple of feral cats that have become dependent on it. So now what do we do, stop feeding the cats? How can we since i've gone and given them names; they're like family now, although they still won't let us near them. What will be next in the chain of dependency not to mention the dangers of the raccoons now becoming daytime hunters. They've also become very tame and are not afraid of people at all. This one was at my back door yesterday and paid no heed to my shouting at him. I pretended to start opening the screen door expecting him to take off but he started walking towards me instead. He would have walked right in if the door had been left open and probably soon learn how to open the fridge door while we watched tv in the next room.

I fear if they don't get enough food they'll be hunting and viciously killing cats and small dogs and and then the people will be mad at them. In the meanwhile they're breeding like crazy so i'm sure the Municipality of Delta will have to cull them out somehow and i'm afraid it's not going to be pretty. I want no part of this and yet i am involved somehow, like everyone else.
A little while later, still during the day this mama and her triplets arrived but probably because the kids were still very young she toddled them off after just a few loud warnings.
