Expedition

We left the house about a little before 15:00 and headed south with a quick detour to a store. After half an hour of easy highway travel, we exited into the countryside. The driving directions started to sound a little funny: "Turn Right onto a road then Bear Right onto a road of the same name" or "Keep Straight onto a new road name." Still, we found Hotaling Road a couple minutes after 16:00. We hung around until just before 16:30 in case we came across a ninja hasher, if they exist their skills are formidable.

Angel Food was saddened as there was no Speed Racer for us today since we only drove over the point at a safe 35mph instead of the state speed limit of 55mph. Angel Food stopped to picked up some litter to get GeoTrashing as a bonus consolation prize. Red Velvet found the spot in the road for the group picture but had to move for a pick-up truck to drive through. After the grinning faces picture, it was back into the car to avoid the falling rain and eat our store bought strawberry cupcakes.
