Location

Near the Zoo, between SW Canyon Court and Hwy 26. Appears to be on the SW Canyon Court side of any barriers.

Today's battleship location is: C 6

Participants

APR - This is somewhat close to me, and I would like to make an attempt for it.
Jim

Plans

I'll get done with work a little after 5, will bring my geohashing stuffs with me, and will drive to work. That should put me to the hashpoint between 5:30 and 6PM. It should take me 20-30 minutes to get out to the hashpoint from when I leave. --aperfectring 15:17, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

Folks will be shocked to learn this hashpoint is close to me, too, so I'm also tempted to make a try for it. No Timing yet, though. Jiml 17:57, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

Expedition

APR got done with work about 5:15, and headed over to Jim's office to pick him up. After Jim came down, APR started driving them to the hashpoint. They decided to take 26, because there is not really a good way to the hashpoint otherwise. They realized the potential risk, and decided the chances of a backup was low. About 45 minutes later, after averaging about 15 mph the whole trip, they finally made it to their exit on 26, and found a place to park relatively near the hashpoint. The walked up the street to it, took some pictures, and made their way back. On the way back, they decided that it would be best to take surface streets, because the highway was clogged in both directions when they were coming to the hashpoint. APR then dropped Jim off at his office, and made his way home.
