Location

powerline right-of-way just south of Rosedale Memorial Park, Walker, MI

Participants


Expedition

Looked easy, under powerlines just south of a large graveyard I had already visited on 2016-08-29_42_-85. I took the same approach: get off the bus at an intermediate stop during my commute home and walk.

Turns out this one was harder. I walked through the graveyard to its southeast corner, where a utility road led to the power lines. The right-of-way was covered with thick vegetation 6-12 feet high. Quite a bit of poking around led to no reasonable path toward the hashpoint.

I returned to the graveyard, walked to its southwest corner, made my way through the hedge to 2nd Avenue, and walked south to where the right-of-way crossed the road. This was no better: a steep bank up to the right-of-way, which looked just as impenetrable as it had from the other end. In my work clothes and not equipped with a machete, I gave up.
