Location

Today's point landed in the front yard of a house in the West Hill neighbourhood in Scarborough, very close to a fence.

Expedition

Satellite imagery suggested the point would be on an accessable front lawn, so I headed to the point after work in my car, 'Em'. Now that the days are longer, it was going to be bright out too!

On arrival, I was having problems getting the GPS to give me a discrete direction to walk in. After calibrating the compass, I snapped some pictures, and hoped back in my car thinking that this would be a fairly simple success with no additional awards, but then I recalled the addition of the Frozen Geohash award. Luckily, 'Em' is outfitted with a thermometer with digital readout on the dash. Ambient temperature: -1°C. I believe the weather network is calling for double-digit positive values of temperature next week, so this may be one of the last times to get this award this year during the daytime.

Photos

The grass does look greener on the other side!
Good enough.
Stupid Grin.
It's cold out there. I'm a brave Canadian.
