Location

On a street corner in residential Vancouver.

Participants

Michael5000

Plans

This looks like very low-hanging fruit indeed. A few miles out of the way on my way from Point A to Point B should land me on this highly accessible spot.

Expedition

I drove up, parked, found the spot on the sidewalk, noticed a nearby plaque, spent a moment enjoying autumn leaves, and went on with my business.

Expedition Succeeded.

Photos

Embedded in the sidewalk a couple of meters from the hashpoint.
Autumn!
Nearby streetsign.
