Location

In Depew, under power lines off George Urban Blvd.

Participants

Plans

Have to drive up to Clarence in the morning which is close to the hash. I'll stop at the hash on the way home rather than drive back out there for an Official Meetup since no one is really around here anyway. I think it's supposed to rain in the morning so I'm going to push this to later morning hopefully after the rain has gone by.

Expedition

When I left my house it was still raining, but by the time I got to Clarence, it had stopped. I timed it quite nicely. From there, I fortunately remembered the way to the hash as I had forgotten to grab my directions I wrote out yesterday.

Finding a place to park on Madeline ave, I walked through some parking lots to the area under the power lines and was pleasantly surprised. There was a mowed path through the worst of the tall grass and most of the area was mowed in its entirety.

Getting close to the hash, it was in an open area and a few steps one way and then another allowed me to zero in on the exact spot. Pictures taken, I headed back to the car in the sun that had just started to peek through the clouds.
