Expedition

Success! I set off with my father at approximately 2:25 or so, and got to the beginning of the trail that the hash was on at around 3:00. We walked down the trail, neither seeing nor hearing any signs of life, until we were passed by a jogger (one of only two other people we would see on the walk, which was strange, given how nice a day it was). We continued walking, routinely checking Maps to see how close we were, until we got to the location... and learned it was in the middle of a marsh, with no trails leading to it, and was slightly further off the trail than I anticipated. Luckily, the marsh was frozen over, and as I soon learned, the ice was thick enough to walk on. I proceeded across the ice, managed to get to the hashpoint, and successfully got back to the trail.
