Location
In an assisted living complex in South Albany.
Participants
Expedition
It had been almost two months since I last stood on a hashpoint, so I pointed the prow of the expedition vehicle south by southwest and struck out in the grey December weather on the day of the year's earliest sunset. It was a straight shot on I-5, and I reached Albany without incident, except for entering a belt of steady rain a few minutes before reaching town.
I parked at South Albany High School -- go RedHawks -- and got my running gear organized, then ran roughly a mile south to the open-campus retirement community that hosted the hashpoint. I stopped briefly on the hashpoint, as one does, but deferred picture taking and gloating due to the ongoing cold rain.
A nice little trail looped me back to the main road; I ran back up and past where I'd parked before I crapped out and walked for a bit. Then I got to a nicer and longer trail, the Periwinkle Creek Trail, and jogged along for a while again before eventually pitching it in at four and a half miles and walking back to the vehicle. And then, after changing clothes, I drove back to the hashpoint for more comfortable photographing and gloating.
