Expedition
Being a Monday, I was going to be in a rush to get home from work for the dogs before heading back into the city for the Slow Roll. Thinking I wouldn't have enough time to stop on the way, I planned to not stay long after the ride to leave some daylight for the hash.
The ride today started at the Varsity Theater on Baily and we rode around the East Side of Buffalo. After a quick beer at the ride 'after-party' I headed for home and the hash. Pulling into the parking lot, I decided to park by the NAPA Auto Parts store. Walking behind the building past the loading docks, it was unsurprisingly empty, although in the corner of the lot where I was going to have to walk by, was a parked 18-Wheeler. It didn't look like anyone was inside as I walked by and I made my way across the grassy area to the hash-woods. It was pretty thick trying to work my way to the hash, but I was able to make it without too much difficulty. Fortunately the hash wasn't too deep into the woods, although the GPS dance at the end was tricky. Finally getting a good enough reading, I got my pictures and headed for home just as it was starting to get dark.
Writing this up 3 months late, I think enough time has passed to confirm the Last Man Standing as a bonus ribbon.
