Ike

Woke up to the destruction of Ike. Started watching KHOU TV in Houston for really detailed coverage. Saw the area that Patience lives in and there was a lot of water. Finally heard from Mike and he had taken Patience with his family to stay with a friend. They might try going back on Monday. Depends on the power.

Found another cache near the new transit depot in Marpole. I knew my car GPS was wrong when it wanted me to take the Arthur Lang Bridge. I went anyway to see what it would say. When the voice announced I had arrived, I was on the bridge over the site - oops! It took a while to find the entrance in the fence to this new park but it was worth it. A trail along the shoreline and a new little outcropping with benches. The cache was right where it was supposed to be (#15).

A bit of grocery shopping and the library, then home for the weekend.
