| Douglas Tunnel (Connecting Surrey to Poco)
So I was just on google looking for a picture and I came up with this cool link. I really think it would be darn neat to check out and some what of a easy adventure. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache...log=y&decrypt= Quote:
In 1858 fearing invasion from the United States, Colonel Richard Moody and the Royal Engineers embarked on a secret project that has recently been made public. The Royal Engineers began constructing a tunnel under the Fraser River from Port Coquitlam to Surrey. The project was half completed before it was cancelled when the threat of invasion was eliminated with the signing of the Treaty of Paris. While the tunnel to Surrey was never completed, the first section of the project—a tunnel from Port Coquitlam—at the foot of Mary’s Hill was completed to Douglas Island halfway across the Fraser River. So impressive was this tunnel that the chief Engineer, Captain Ignacious Brunel was sent back to London to work on the New London Subway project. This new cache is at the Entrance of the Tunnel to Douglas Island, please be careful in approaching the tunnel as the path is very slippery. We do not recommend going in to the tunnel. Note tunnel can be very damp.
