Location

In a public park in Hadera, near the base of a massive electricity pylon.

Participants

Plans

This was the first free day I had to go geohashing after being sick for weeks. I was going to go come hell or high water. I also had an art delivery to make. The plan: take the Shacharit train from Jerusalem, take the artwork to the gallery in Tel Aviv, then go back and take the train to Hadera. From there a bus to a few blocks away from the point, walk there, walk back.

Expedition

Due to confusion regarding what precisely I had to do in the art delivery, I ended up leaving the house in the late morning, so I had to daven at home. Otherwise all went essentially as planned. The point ended up being *exactly* at the electricity pylon, so I scratched out XKCD in the dirt (which must have looked *very* suspicious to the random woman who was walking through the park when I did that). I then sat down at a park bench to eat lunch and watch a bit of *Taskmaster*.

As a general rule, if I'm doing something that looks ridiculously suspicious, I deliberately stick around afterwards. Sure, there's more risk that I'll be asked what I'm doing - but your average passersby will be less freaked out if the person doing the weird stuff then does something normal rather than running away. "Okay, I don't know why he did *that*, but he's clearly not a terrorist," is what I want them to think.

Instead of going straight back home, I took a train and then a bus to Rishon Lezion, where I had found a store that sold made-in-Vietnam headphones for relatively cheap, and then davened mincha. So I got home a bit later than intended but all in all a successful day.
