Plans

Expedition Two

Jim looked at the hashpoint this morning and thought "That looks pretty accessible, and feasible to get to"

Expedition 5000

Michael5000 plans a run-to-hashpoint expedition after work.

Expedition

Expedition One

We were shopping in the area so we stopped by this easy hashpoint! It took a while for my GPS to calibrate, so we stood around in the parking lot for a while. People who looked like they had business at the archdiocese passed. No one asked us what we were doing.

Expedition Two

Jim took a couple of buses from work and found himself standing a block from the hashpoint. I walked up and examined the sign, which indicated that it was private property, but only that I couldn't use it as a thruway. Since I was planning on walking out the same entrance I was going into, I walked towards the main entrance, which the street door had directed me towards.

Most the the way there, my GPS reported that we had arrived at the hashpoint, and I attempted to take a photo in the glare. I then went in search of a bus and two trains to find my way home.

Expedition Five Thousand

This parking lot is about a kilometer from home, and we occasionally use it as a shortcut when we walk to the nearby theater and restaurants. I ran to the hashpoint, and to an ATM, and it still managed to be one of the shortest runs of the year.

Photos

Expedition One

A bit of art near the hashpoint!
Grins!
The hashpoint is below this sign.

Expedition Five Thousand

So many ways to fail the grin
The hashpoint was only a few meters from the Archbishop's parking space.
