Another short hope across the border to one of my favourite rides, Point Roberts WA. Very quiet roads and wonderful scenery:

Lily Point Park

Seabright Point

The Marina

Towards the Tsawwassen Ferry Terminal

The old hangout

Is that club still there? There used to be two clubs in PR as I recall. The other was "The Breakers"

Being able to drink on Sundays up in B.C. killed the biz in Point Roberts. It was introduced for Expo 86 and never was rolled back. The Breakers closed first, and last time I went down for a drink the Reef was still open.
It was just a matter of time before it closed too, so I'm not surprised to see the empty marquee.
In the end, I believe both were owned by the Kiniski's, of wrestling fame. The Breakers used to rock incredibly on Canadian long weekends when nobody had to work on the Mondays following. Huge venue, great bands and cheap drinks. There's absolutely nothing up here like The Breakers was. I'm surprised there weren't more major accidents with drunk Canadian drivers heading home. Those were the days and they're long gone.

The Breakers is long gone but the Reef has opened up again after closing during covid. Really just a tavern with a nice patio now, not wild and crazy like the old days. The golf course is also open again but when it was closed earlier in the spring it was a great place to bike along all the smooth cart paths without worrying about getting whacked with a golf ball.

Point Roberts was once described to me as the ultimate gated community. And that isn't the ocean it is the Straight of Georgia I have been up and down it many times going back and forth to AK. It can get just as windy, wet and wild as the ocean though!

Speaking of oceans they can make a nice background for fox gloves, this patch caught my eye yesterday.

And let the road building games begin

A bit disappointed because the plan I saw had them starting this re-route from the other side. This move has restricted my access to this area and the trails we have been working on . Still can get up in there late evening and weekends though.

Great to hear the Reef is still going. Pt. Roberts residents ought to be able to keep it going without the Canadian hordes. CN

Sadly ,I am pretty sure the Coyote would not give him back for a million dollars and by now he (like my bike) is a Ghost. https://www.ghost-bikes.com/en/e-bikes

I presume that many wouldn’t take the reward but then why make the offer if you won’t live up to it. If the cat is like a precious family member to the owner, then money should be irrelevant.

PDog I have no doubt the owner was serious about the money. All the homes in that area fetch 5 million plus so I would take the money (-: Here is a listing for a blowdown nearby: https://www.zolo.ca/vancouver-real-estate/4236-west-king-edward-avenue

I have no doubt the owner has deep pockets but apparently so did the cat owner in the article. Sometimes human nature has a way of warping one’s moral compass.

Hopefully this will have a happy ending and cat and owner will be reunited whether the reward is accepted or declined as a gesture of goodwill.

Vienna, Austria, 2009. I don't know about these guys. Kind of a Mad Max meets Pee Wee Herman kind of group. I was going through some of my old pictures and had to share this one.
