Location

In a forest next to the wide mowed area for power lines in College Park, MD

Participants

Plans

Saw the spot, it's only 20 mins away, thought a road went very close, decided to try. A spur of the moment kind of thing.

Expedition

It was a beautiful, hot, sunny day and I decided to head out while I was on a conference call. I love the mowed areas where large transmission lines travel the earth. On the way there, I was actually participating in a work thing. The call went long and even as I got out of my car and started walking down a path (that on the map looked like a road), I was on the call.

Got out into the mowed area and got close to the spot along the edge of the forest that was closest to the point and waited for the call to end before I sallied into the woods.

Into the woods I went, not directly from the closest spot due to vegetation, but it was still fairly straightforward. Snapped my pics and went home.
