Expedition

The point is fairly close to my commute path. Did some streetview investigation of the entrance to Ziply (a local broadband provider) and didn't see any signs, so I figured I'd give it a go. Shorts and sandals aren't the right wear for either traipsing into the woods or dealing with velociraptors, but I would cross that bridge when I came to it.

Drove down a road I've been down before and took a right turn I hadn't, still looks good. Snapped a photo of the Ziply sign. Continued a little further and there is a likely-broken intercom next to an open gate... labeled with two types of No Trespassing signs. I briefly considered going further, but that's not what we do in geohashing.

Leaving the property, I took an immediate right and right again into the property next door. No signs, no restrictions, lots of younger folks. Labeled Zumiez, this is clearly not a retail location - but it does have a cool skate park out back, perhaps for product testing. I parked and walked across a nice lawn to the northeast corner of the property, where I found a protected greenspace sign. If the barbed wire of the previous entrance was anything to go by, I wasn't going to reach the point going this way either.
