Location
Near Aderet.
It's in a publicly accessible forest, which is good. But according to Amud Anan this specific part of the forest is a vineyard, which is bad. But Amud Anan claims the vineyard is long abandoned, which is good. But the satellite photos, which are probably more recent than the Amud Anan label, still show a clearly delineated plot of land, which may be bad.
The vineyard belongs theoretically to Ella Valley Wineries. It may be worth calling them in advance of going to the point to ask permission to enter.
Participants
- Yerushalmi (talk), #4, and #5
Plans
I called the winery and got permission!
We'll leave by car from Jerusalem probably around 16:00... it's a bit late but I have other errands to run first. There's a marked red trail, and we'll hope for the best.
Expedition
Child #3 had a youth group thing, so my wife stayed home to take her there and pick her up afterwards; #1 and #2 decided not to come. So at 16:30 I took the car from Jerusalem with #4 and #5. Both fell asleep in the car.
The vineyard is along a marked-red trail through the forest. I had been told by the winery over the phone that I could drive all the way down it, but when I got there I saw the sign marked it as for 4x4 vehicles only, which my car is not, so I didn't want to risk it. We parked the car at the start of the trail; the kids woke up immediately and we set off on foot. (The winery turned out to be right.)
The geohash was pretty uneventful. It was a nice walk down a smoothly paved road in the middle of a forest. We stopped for lunch halfway down.
The vineyard turned out to still be in use - but as a wheat field rather than a vineyard. Since it's late summer, the harvest had already taken place, so the field was merely sitting there waiting for planting season. We walked in freely and found the point without issue.
Things got a little tense on the way back once the sun set, but we made it back to the car while there was still adequate light.
