Expedition
I've been on vacation in north eastern Washington, with inaccessible hashpoints around me (< 20km) each day. I noted this point was a possibility before beginning my 500km return trip on Thursday morning.
The two dimensional top down map made this look like a gentle break between two roads; the aerial view showed some foliage. A simple tree to duck under perhaps? The neighborhood is near some construction, and quite close to Interstate 5. There is a concrete sound barrier wall, but it is wholly insufficient to mask Thursday late rush hour traffic noise.
What was 2D on the map was a relatively steep downhill in person. The battered sign showing the two streets seemed backwards to me - perhaps confusing to delivery drivers. What looked like foliage was a tree and a whole lot of sticker-guarded berries below. I wondered if I could lean in close, but rarely got below 5 meters distant. Mother nature...
Just south of the point is Lakeside middle school, and just north Lakeside high school, the alma mater of a certain Redmond based billionaire.
