Location
A parking lot in Oak Brook.
Participants
Plans
- Haberdasher, eager to get back into the game, is taking advantage of another convenient hashpoint, this one on a weekend to boot.
Expedition
This hashpoint was a no-brainer to go after- close to home, and my mother could use to go to the nearby Oak Brook Mall, so it was a win-win. Initially, I thought that the parking lot was for a store, but it turned out to be for an office park, though still most definitely open to the public. The area was pretty sleepy, given that it was a Sunday.
For some reason, though, the parking lot in which the hashpoint resided contained a shed.
And the GPS dance led me closer and closer to this (locked) shed...
And then, thankfully, a few feet past it. I actually ended up squished in between the shed and some bushes, but at least the hashpoint proved to be accessible.
The rest of the trip proved successful as well, though the mall, unlike the office park, was far from deserted. Still, a good time was had by all.
