Location
On the Sidewalk on Delaware Ave by the I-290
Participants
Plans
Since the hash is up in the NE corner for Sunday, I was really considering the SW graticule to add to my Minesweeper ribbon but it is on private property and I don't want to drive over an hour for nothing. There will be other opportunities for that graticule and this hash is right on the sidewalk on Delaware right by the I-290.
I will drive up and park in a parking lot by the 290 and walk over on the sidewalk to the hash. Since the hash is right at the end of the guard rail, I should be able to get there without the GPS but I will bring it just in case the snow banks are covering the guard rail and I can't easily find the hash.
Expedition
This was going to be a pretty easy hash to find. I left the house around 10:15am and parked the car at the Delaware Center plaza at about 10:45. Seeing that the sidewalks were clear was a very good sign. However, when I first got to the hash area, I checked by the road to see if I could see the guard rail but it was buried. I knew I was really close anyway so I left my GPS in my pocket and started to take pictures of the area.
My sister called in the middle of taking pictures and as I was mindlessly pacing as I talked to her, I noticed that the end of the guard rail was poking through the snow by the sidewalk! Sweet! Now, I could pinpoint the hash and get the rest of the pictures for proof.
Being on a busy street and practically under the thruway, there wasn't much else to see so I headed back to the car and home.
Further note, I'm adding yet another challenge for the Tale of Two Hashes for Delaware
Photos
Satellite view of the hash. The question is...will I find the guard rail in the snow?
I parked in a medical plaza that was empty.
Walking North on the nicely plowed sidewalks to the hash.
I found the end of the guard rail.
The view to the North.
View back toward the car.
It must have been brighter than I thought and I didn't check the picture until I got home.
