Location

Backyard of 1800 Avalon Dr, Wheeling, IL 60090

Participants

Plans

Going to take a detour on the way home from work to check out this rare hash that isn't underwater. Not going to try and access the backyard, just going to get as close as I can in the little park directly east. I'll probably get there around 5-5:15 PM. I'll be the one in business attire. Will reluctantly decide not to play on the swings.

Expedition

Started out from work in Willowbrook a little late, took I-88 east and headed north on I-294. Navigated through Wheeling before being meeting a Norfolk Southern freight train. I wish I had caught the locomotives' road numbers since I'm nuts about trains. Finally got to the park but couldn't find any parking since it was on a neighborhood road. At this point I was very short on time so I had to call this one off.
