Just off the path between two farms, outside of Shoresh.

Participants

Yerushalmi (talk)

Plans

I'll take a bus out to Shoresh, walk to the point, walk back, take a bus home. Should be simple.

Expedition

For a bunch of reasons, one of which involved an extremely annoying cat, I was not able to leave Jerusalem until barely an hour before I had to be back. So I took the car instead, which would be faster. It still shouldn't be a problem; I can park the car inside Shoresh, walk to the point, and walk back, right?

Unfortunately, the path from inside Shoresh to the farm was locked by a gate. And another road that was not locked by a gate was an unmaintaineed dirt path that my car could not traverse. So instead I parked on the other side of Shoresh and started taking a long path all the way around.

I made it about 2/3 of the way before I completely ran out of time and had to turn back. And even then, I took what I thought was a shortcut but ended up depositing me some distance from the car (in fairness, it *was* a shortcut to that wrong location). I didn't even make it back to Jerusalem in time for what I needed to do. So it was a failed expedition from start to finish.
