Although today was daddy and Charlotte day, I had Charlotte in the evening as Pete was going out. He dropped her off to me at work, but it took us a very long time to get back to New Westminster due to the traffic. It really seemed that Charlotte deserved a chance to stretch her legs, so we stopped off at the awesomely-named Riverside Adventure Park, not too far from Blackford Island. I found one of my very first geocaches here way back in 2006; it was called "Delusions of Grandeur", named by a CO who was as amused by the name as I am. I don't know where the "adventure" part of the name comes from and as for the "riverside" part, well, the river is in sight, way down the hill, with a highway and a busy rail yard to cross before you get to it. The park is a lot different now than it was in early 2006 when I found my seventh geocache. The dodgy playground equipment has long since been removed and replaced with a sanitized version that offers little challenge to anyone. But Charlotte did have fun giving Owlie a ride on the loop. "Delusions of Grandeur" is long gone too, but "Illusions of Grandeur" has been in its place for some years now; Charlotte and I have both logged a find on this cache! The playground is located at N 49.12.300 W 122.56.022 and is point no. 127 on the map at the bottom of home page.
