In reply to Taras Vladimirovich Shevchenko (msg #135):
They passed (barely) under the rail bridge, then the twin Lougheed Highway bridges.
Upriver of the clump of treetops marking the former golf course, they turned left over the flooded area, aiming towards a clump of green woods on slightly higher ground to the north of the farm. Unlike the area around the farm, this was above water. Various trees and rooftops poked above the muddy water.
Then, they saw something quite unexpected.
About halfway there, off to the left, Kel saw something odd where the farm should be. They mostly expected a few roofs of the larger buildings to show above the water, but they could see that the large barn-like structure just off Dominion Rd. appeared to be surrounded by an earthen (dirt) berm. It had been piled up in a square-like form to create, for lack of a better word, a makeshift dyke around the barn.
In other words, someone had created an artificial island on part of the farm, around one of the larger buildings. This building had been, literally, a slaughterhouse. The artificial island was not connected to dry land in any way, there was no bridge or causeway linking it to higher ground:
Imagine the large building at top surrounded by dirt dykes:
