Wander by, maybe after work. No point in going by in the day time, since school is in summer vacation

Expedition

Well, it didn't turn out as well as I had hoped. Late in the afternoon, some equipment at work decided that it wasn't going to be happy with the world, and started to complain to people. I called up the vendor, and they tried to have me do things which didn't work and finally produced results they didn't understand. I was pretty worn out by the time I left home and forgot about going by the hashpoint until I got home and didn't want to drive all the way back to it.

However, there was no "accessible" for Saturday, so I figured I would wander by the hashpoint when I was doing errands in the area.

I drove to Liberty High, expecting to find the hashpoint in their parking lot.

But it wasn't there. It was across the street in an fenced industrial area. Needless to say, it was closed on a Saturday, so the 314 feet away in the driveway was as close as I got.

I took some photos, and headed on to my next errand.
