I felt up to it! After my statistics class I dropped my school supplies off at home and headed out. The day was very nice and not too cold, and I listened to NPR podcasts as I made my way over to the hashpoint. I decided to take a longer route, detouring up Highland road past Crescent Valley High School, because I didn't feel like making a left turn off of State Highway 99W.
The hills were steeper than I expected, and I ended up at the house where the hashpoint was at around 5pm. I marveled at the fact that it was still light out, snapped a few pictures of the tree and the sky, and left. Before I left I quickly rode onto the house's driveway because I would have felt bad being that close and not coming within the 5 meter GPS margin-of-error I usually hold myself to, but I didn't want to stick around for long because it would have been marginally awkward trying to explain myself to the owners of the house or suspicious neighbors.
The ride back was quicker than the ride there because I took 99W into town. I saw ducks in a field near the hospital!
