Location

In a grassy field in E. T. Seton Park.

Participants

Frogman

Expedition

After a meeting, I headed out from the office to this easy hashpoint. I took Line 2 out to Broadview Station, and then the 100A Flemingdon Park bus to Overlea Boulevard at Don Mills Road. From there I headed down the Lower Don Recreation Trail to the park, snapped a couple of pictures, and left. I decided that, instead of returning the way I came, I would head down to O'Connor Drive. Readers may recall that my 67th expedition was on O'Connor Drive as well. In fact, I could see the location of that hashpoint in the distance! The 70A O'Connor bus showed up pretty quickly, so I didn't get the chance to swing by for a cheeky retro-hash.

A little path.
Train tracks.
Some concrete things, with plants in them
I walked on this path. But not the whole thing.
I also walked on this path. Not the whole thing here, either, and in fact less in absolute terms, but more in relative terms.
In Canada they call this a "Hydro corridor". Because there's water there? No! There's electricity there. Is the electricity hydroelectric? It's mostly from nuclear fission, in fact! This has been my lesson about Canada, thank you for coming
Waitin' for the bus
