Location

On Richmond Beach access pathway, close to a park and a bowling alley.

Participants

Thomcat

Plans

Stop by after work, in this case a baseball game

Expedition

This one was dead easy, if the google maps were accurate. Between a culdesac and a main road, an access pathway, leading uphill west to east.

After a frustrating game I stopped at the bowling alley / tap room first for a well needed pint. I should have checked in there for geohashing, but alas, no. A short drive around the corner (yes, I could have walked in the slight rain) led right to an easy parking spot.

I snapped a picture of the entrance, the path way, and landed spot on easily enough. I then walked down to snap a pic from the west end also. I did not bring the chalk, but the light rain would wipe that out soon enough. +1 success.
