Location

smack dab in the front yard of a ranch house not far from the airport

Participants

Vbob

Plans

It's pretty close, and I've got errands in that direction

Expedition

But of course, just because you see a road on Google Maps, doesn't mean it's really there; and once you drive around the roadblock, and find the house, looking kind of empty and forlorn, you realize you're wearing grubby workclothes and driving a truck full of scrap, and it might not be wise to be seen prowling around in the yard..

so you call 30' to the north 'close enough' and make up for it with a more foolish grin than entirely necessary.....

Photos

salvaged floorboards need to be delivered a friend
Google says I can drive through here to reach hashpoint along the way
in the yard of this empty-looking house in neighborhood of motorcycles and barking dogs
so 30 feet too far north while staying in the truck
decidedly foolish grin

Achievements
