Expedition

It's been a few weeks since the end of the Dark Ages, and I had yet to make an expedition before today. So, I figured it was time to get one in the books! This one wasn't far from where I work, so after work I headed over to the point.

I started in the nearby subdivision, but seeking to avoid a longer walk along the busy highway, I headed west through the woods and under the power lines before my progress was stopped by a large river. It was clear I couldn't go through the water without getting my feet soaked, so I scrambled up the embankment to the highway, crossed the river on the bridge, and then walked down the embankment on the West side of the river. From there it was a short and easy walk. The hashpoint lay right on the shore of a small pond - I had to stand on a fortunately-placed log to reach the coordinates.

From there, I walked back up to the highway and took a bus to the closest Metro station and back home!
