Sunday morning, Kate's off and the hash is close. It looks like an adventure. It is very close to a paved road, but up here, first of July, maybe the road's open, maybe not.
Expedition
Sunday hash is 13 miles beeline from home, 27 miles on the odo. Kate was off today so we had an outing. Passed a line of bicycles humping up the hill. The 350 yards of unpaved road at the end of the drive was open, so it was only a short walk into the woods. Of course under the canopy gps's started drifting. I took both the DeLorme and the iPad to compare the two. The iPads display briefly had the Lat right on and the Long .000002 off but drifted before the photo. I left a flag if anyone goes up this afternoon.

The end of the drive.
Kate's going cross-country.
Just a little ways up the hill.
The X is the programed hash, the arrow is where I'm at, the circle is the GPS precision.
I left my crepe paper.
No wonder the GPS's drift.
This is a screen capture of the PN-20 track plotted on the DeLorme Topo USA software. It is 200 ft from 'park' to hash. The blue circle is the hash location as entered, the yellow are 3 waypoints dropped while there.
The ipad track. The green dot line is the beeline back to my home, 12.8 miles away.
