Location
The Blackwood housing development on a slope just west of the South Hill.
Participants
Plans
Stop by early afternoon, between errands.
Expedition
Hadn't heard of this little development, nestled against the slope of the South Hill. I guess they will build anywhere nowadays. Found it easily enough, drove in... and lost all cell signal. Really? All the cell towers must be on top of the hill or further down the valley. Okay, no more live updates for this one.
The overhead map showed the point to be between two streets, likely on property without a house. Thinking this would be a park or greenspace, I pulled up on one of the streets and found green. A tiny strip of green. Turns out there's no house because it is another steep hillside.
Next I cruised around to the other side - could at least scope out which house it was behind. Much luck now - this house is for sale. Was for sale? Zillow doesn't list an actual sale date. It does reveal that the property goes all the way to the top of the slope, which I didn't know at the time. Must be lovely paying taxes on all of it.
Immediately next to the property is an access path. Perfect. Followed this access path back to the slope, then hash danced my way to the actual point. Success!
