Contents
Location
In a small public park outside of a yeshiva in North Tel Aviv (despite OSM thinking it's in Bnei Brak - it isn't).
Participants
Plans
Child #4 is sick - has been sick all week - so I'll be watching her all day and can't go. I don't know if I'll have time after the kids come home. But if I do, it's a simple matter of taking one train to Tel Aviv, another to Bnei Brak, walking north into the little pseudopod of Tel Aviv known as Ramat Hachayal, then doing the reverse.
Expedition
Pretty much exactly as planned. My wife agreed to watch the kids in the evening, so I left the house at around 17:30. It took about an hour to get to the Bnei Brak station. Just for the fun of it, I decided to go with printed maps instead of Geohash Droid: a zoomed-out street map to get to the vicinity, and a satellite photo so I could locate the point by where it was in the trees.
Nothing particularly interesting happened on the way. When I reached where I thought the point was, and activated Geohash Droid, I was about 2 meters outside the circle of uncertainty. A few steps backward... no, wait, a few steps forward, and I was there. That was easy.
I took a bus to the train station instead of a train, because it seemed faster. Unfortunately I missed the train home by five minutes (somebody was waiting to board at EVERY SINGLE STOP), so as I write this I'm waiting half an hour for the next one.
Riveting, I know, but I have to put something here to justify you reading it.
