Expedition

The hasher drove out along State Route 78 to Yaqui Pass Road, followed by a quick left onto Grapevine Canyon Road—an unpaved service road for a telephone line running down the canyon. This road shoots westward for a ways before taking a northwestern bend; this bend, at 1.8 kilometers from the hashpoint, is the closest vehicular approach possible. The hasher thereupon stopped the car and proceeded to attempt the hashpoint by foot, despite the 100-degree temperatures and late hour. Sanity prevailed after about 20 meters, and the hasher returned to the car and went home.
