Expedition

It was Father's Day and we were deciding between a visit to the new Japanese garden at the sculpture park and a trip to the lakeshore to visit a state park we like and have dinner with some friends. As if the latter didn't already sound better, a hashpoint was just a few meters off the road on the way. Decision made.

I thought the hashpoint might actually be on the roadside, and we might have a nice view over Lake Michigan. No luck on either front: it was a good six meters inside a mass of very thorny vegetation, within a forest that prevented any lake view. Nonetheless three of our party picked our way through the briars to reach the spot.
