Expedition

Easy detour between bus dropoff point and home, and remarkably close (about 4 blocks away) to 2014-08-09 42 -85. I tried to recruit Pat again but he didn't see my invitation in time. It's dark at 6 pm here so the photos are not thrilling, but I tried to get a shot of the moon through the mist. GPS was annoyingly inconsistent about the precise point, jumping by 5 m or so. The best I got was 0.7 m between the north sidewalk and the street.
