The Beginning of the Journey
Short delay, but yea stimulus package!
The house of the friendly man
The lake just beneath the bridge
OK, hiking right along the shore won't work
Let's try again here
Hello fellow traveler!
The forest becomes more dense
Small waterfall, bigger sound
Typical steep slope I repeatedly faced
Wasn't expecting to find a bridge!
Much less two!
Still hiking near shore as planned
Wow, that looks easier to hike through
And it is!
But then I had to return to the forest
I'm getting close to the hash
The bush is always densest just before the hash
I made it!
No, I didn't, but a nice view nonetheless
This unmapped inlet caused my error
Made it around the inlet
I don't think this goes here
Taken from the buoy
Could I have been hiking through fields this whole time?
Sticking to the original plan near the shore
The hash is in this clearing! For real!
My Best Imitation of a Track Log
Google directions take you to the nearest road to the hash...
...which isn't always where you want to go
I made it around the inlet! The rest should be easy!
Slowly progressing near the shoreline
Wait a minute!
OK, that makes more sense
Getting closer...
...and closer...
I think I made it
Things aren't matching, but I think I made it
Zoomed out for similar perspective to others
On the way back, trying to find a better path inland
