Guided Tour of Kobol

Cleveland Dam Park (map)

Selected By: Val

When the Colonials visited Kobol in Galactica's second season, it was pouring rain, the Cylons were close on their heels and the future of humanity was at stake.  In our world, summer is finally here and it's time for some outdoor events.  How about a relaxing but geeky day in the park?

If you want some background on the BSG and Caprica locations within the park, check out Episode 3 of the 13th Colony Video Files http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3dp4nDFzPk

We'll meet at 1pm at the parking lot at the north end of the park, next to Cleveland Dam.  Here's a map.  http://www.metrovancouver.org/about/maps/Maps/Capilanomap.pdf

I can meet people at Lonsdale Quay at 12:30 to take them up to the park.  My car has room for three passengers.  You'll have to catch the 12:15 sailing from downtown to be on time.  If you want a ride, please include a note in your RSVP.

Depending on the weather, it can be cool in the trees.  We'll have to walk a couple of kilometres, including some uphill.  Believe me, it's worth it.

    How long will it be? Should we be packing ... a snack?

    Snacks might be good. I like the idea of a picnic on Kobol!

    Hi Julia, consider your spot reserved! I've got one space already reserved, so now only one more in my car! Should be fun day. Thrilled to see so many out-of-towners signing up to join us through the Facebook event page.
