Participants

Expedition

Too easy not to go for: grounds of a still-on-holiday school, easy to locate from features on the satmap, and very close to where the bus drops me during my commute home.

I had no problem finding the spot, though I only had my cell phone for pics, and no thermometer. I was there from about 4:50 to 5:15.

In lieu of thermometer, I offer (1) a self-portrait with ice in mustache and (2) the temperature record of weather station MC5506 at (42.97, -85.72) which shows -10.5 degrees C at 5 pm.

  • Three sycamore trees clearly identifiable at hashpoint on satmap (though in the current Google/Peeron image they still had leaves), shot taken looking north. The hashpoint is just west of the middle one.

  • View to east from hashpoint, showing line of tennis nets that indicate correct latitude.

  • View to southwest from hashpoint over school, 4:51 pm.

  • Similar view from slightly SW of hashpoint, 4:56 pm.

  • Highly biodegradable hashpoint marker.

  • Stupid Grin, with icy 'stache.

  • Temperature record from nearby weather station.
