Another week over and another weekend looms...except this one is a long one - BAM.This week I continued to learn about all the responsibilities that come with working with the DCP Rock Anchor crew, a lot to learn but it is all interesting information. Weather this week has been very wet, I think there was one dry day of the 5. Each of the other 4 days were listed as "heavy rainfall" with something like 50mm falling each day - so much rain. I am used to cold dry winters of Fredericton - cold but sunny.

I figured today (monday - day off work) that I would go for an adventure. I knew that somewhere around the immediate area there were filming locations for smallville (Superman TV show) thus I decided to go looking for them. The "downtown" smallville is filmed in a place called Cloverdale which is part of Surrey, East of Vancouver. After I found this and took some pics I went looking for the Kent Farm - home of Superman. After getting into the back roads consisting of all farms I finally found it. I am officially a nerd. Not sure if they get many people taking pictures but from the couple of people walking their dogs along the path they probably thought I drove from NB to get these pics.

After the excitment of seeing Smallville locations I went on another tour around the area to see what else what there was around the area. The Rodeo Exhibition Grounds seemed to be the main attraction - as the surrounding area is all farming and horse stables it seemed fitting that this was here. Along with the Rodeo there was the "Fraser Downs Race Track" - not sure how often horses race here or if any big races attend it still seemed like a pretty large complex.

The Stetson Bowl Stadium - I assume Rodeo Type Activities take place here.
This sign reads "Flamingos & Buzzards Rentals"...?
I think I shall stop the post here as I am going to get a hair cut and run some errands. Until the next Post...
