Plans

I literally just came up with the plans around 17:00 because I remembered that today's hash location is on a street in a street grid neighbourhood, so I could achieve Tron, Speed Racer, and No Batteries. I planned to take the following directions by car:

west out of my neighbourhood
left Hilton
right 8 Mile
around-then-right Evergreen
right Vassar
hashpoint
left Burt
left 7 Mile
left John R
left Woodward Heights
right Lenox back into my neighbourhood

Expedition

Pretty much as planned, except that I had to take a detour due to a train parked on the tracks at the level crossing on Hilton south of 9 Mile. I had to scroll around my phone's map (it was logging GPS) to determine the detour route, so I'm not going to claim No Batteries for today. The detour was as follows:

from SB Hilton/9 Mile
left Troy
right Bonner
left Saratoga
right Farrow
left Academy
right Wanda into Bennett
right West End
right 8 Mile into previously planned route

Also, a car turned left across my path at NB John R / State Fair, and one merged into my path at NB John R / Orchard. Thankfully I was able to avoid crashing into both cars.
