Good Samaritan creates rest stop along dike

Editor: For joggers, walkers and cyclists on the dike, there is a little rest stop between 17th Avenue and 64th Street complete with comfortable seats offering a million-dollar view of Boundary Bay, White Rock and Mount Baker.

Editor: For joggers, walkers and cyclists on the dike, there is a little rest stop between 17th Avenue and 64th Street complete with comfortable seats offering a million-dollar view of Boundary Bay, White Rock and Mount Baker. In addition, there is water for people and dogs,

and some small toys for children to use.

While cycling on the dike with my hound dog Milo last week, we said hello to a cheerful man on a bike pulling a children's stroller with a large empty water bottle.

Within minutes, we stopped at the rest stop where there was a full bottle of water, a dog's dish full of water and the children's toys.

To this Good Samaritan who has created the rest stop, I offer thanks and gratitude, and I'm certain many others are appreciative of your gesture of kindness.
