I literally just came up with the plans around 17:00 because I remembered that today's hash location is on a street in a street grid neighbourhood, so I could achieve Tron, Speed Racer, and No Batteries. I planned to take the following directions by car:

Location

On westbound Vassar Drive halfway between Fielding Street and Patton Street, in Detroit's Evergreen Lahser 7/8 neighbourhood.

Participants

Alison (talk)

Plans

I literally just came up with the plans around 17:00 because I remembered that today's hash location is on a street in a street grid neighbourhood, so I could achieve Tron, Speed Racer, and No Batteries. I planned to take the following directions by car:

  • west out of my neighbourhood
  • left Hilton
  • right 8 Mile
  • around-then-right Evergreen
  • right Vassar
  • hashpoint
  • left Burt
  • left 7 Mile
  • left John R
  • left Woodward Heights
  • right Lenox back into my neighbourhood

Expedition

Pretty much as planned, except that I had to take a detour due to a train parked on the tracks at the level crossing on Hilton south of 9 Mile. I had to scroll around my phone's map (it was logging GPS) to determine the detour route, so I'm not going to claim No Batteries for today. The detour was as follows:

  • from SB Hilton/9 Mile
  • left Troy
  • right Bonner
  • left Saratoga
  • right Farrow
  • left Academy
  • right Wanda into Bennett
  • right West End
  • right 8 Mile into previously planned route

Also, a car turned left across my path at NB John R / State Fair, and one merged into my path at NB John R / Orchard. Thankfully I was able to avoid crashing into both cars.
