Agriculture versus transportation... 

Not too much longer before we get corn-on-the-cob. 

Looking west in the direction of Fort Langley. 

OK, it's only a train... but my point is: I heard train whistles all day long as both sides of the Fraser River have rail lines, and both are busy.

Typical Fort Langley-Abbotsford farm scenery. 

Just as there are rail lines here on the south shore of the Fraser, so there are over on the north shore (Maple Ridge - Haney) as well.

Picking up the Trans Canada Trail on the east shore of the Pitt River. 

Beginning of this TCT trip, with a view north west across the Pitt River (Coquitlam on the other side). 

TCT north along the east shore of the Pitt River - the east Pitt River Dike. 

Photo Op at a small marina just off the Pitt River.

View to the south, primarily over blueberry fields. 

The TCT has now turned eastward along the Alouette River - South Alouette River Dike. 

Looking back on the dike trail before heading into suburbia. 

The "Trans Canada Trail" sign as we leave the dike trails and enter a more suburban landscape. 

TCT cuts through suburbia...

A bit of suburbia, including a ball diamond.

Riding through a pleasant, wooded, suburban landscape. 

Then, momentarily, the trail become urban - 224th Street crossing Dewdney Trunk Road into old Haney shopping area

I lost the TCT a few 100 meters back - here I'm at the Billy Miner Pub (on the Haney By-pass).

Off the Haney By-pass and then briefly onto the Lougheed Highway (a few meters) and I turned into Kanaka Creek Regional Park.
