Go by after going by the blood bank

Expedition

Well, we are still in shutdown here, so I'm not getting out much at all, but I had an appointment at the blood bank for today, and when I saw that this hashpoint was on the other side of that trip, I figured I'd try for it. (It was supposed to be 10 minutes on the other side.)

Getting there was pretty easy. Just take 3 major highways, and then a bunch of side streets - I let maps navigation handle that, especially since when I finally got to a point where it made sense to follow, my GPS' batteries had died and needed to be replaced during a stop.

It proved to be very close to the road such that I didn't even need to get out of the car, which was good from a possible virus-containment perspective, and because the area was fenced off by the county and marked as no-tresspassing.

I took some photos and headed for home, taking a slightly different route, part of which I hadn't taken in such a long time that I had forgotten some of the tricks.

Photos

Someday, maybe....
