Expedition

I had plans to help my sister set up her internet and it went poorly. The wireless router was not getting an IP address from the modem and I was getting ready to take a hammer to things. Needless to say, things took a lot longer than they should have. Getting done there, we went out for dinner for Korean which was nice.

I got home around sunset, but figured the hash wasn't too far away and I had some free time. I at least remembered a better flashlight this time. Getting to Irving, NY, I missed my last turn because the side streets were not well marked, so I had to find a place to turn around. Doing so, I turned on Woodchuck Rd and was glad to see wide shoulders on the road to park. I stopped about 100 feet from the corner and in front of the Seneca Nation signage so I could take a picture. They sound very threatening if you are thinking of trespassing on Seneca Nation lands.

Walking over to the hash, I was close to a telephone pole which I checked again for Posted signs(I didn't see any on Google Streetview earlier either). Satisfied there were none, I moseyed over about 20 feet on the grass to the hash, where I had to do a bit of a GPS dance to get it down to a reasonable reading. Getting my pictures, I went back to the car for my stupid grin picture and then headed for home.

On the way back, I saw the no-longer-quite-full moon trying to poke through the clouds but not much else of interest.
