Plans

Kyrkazakh (talk): An extremely doable one, I'd be foolish to turn this down. Unless, of course, life gets in the way. Knock on wood.

Expedition

I was attending a meeting in Minneapolis anyway (go TCDSA!) so why not take a 20-30 minute detour? I also realized this was a good one to pick for a Tron attempt, which I think I succeeded at (feel free to dispute, your mileage may vary). Drive down to Apple Valley through the southern suburbs was uneventful and familiar. Pulled into the rental community and struggled to find a parking location that preserved the route but eventually made it work although I blocked off someone's garage for a minute or two. Hopped out and did a circle around the big artificial rock pile with the Boulder Ridge sign; ultimately the hash site was just to the northwest of the pile, but I didn't take a ton of photos since I was informally in someone's backyard. Right under a nice low-hanging tree though! Got back in the car, went to my Minneapolis meeting, then headed back home to complete the Tron. Huzzah.
