Location
On what looks like a boundary between two warehouses in an industrial area outside of Beit Shemesh, near a company that supplies equipment to key duplication stores and another company that supplies greeting robots for tech conferences.
Participants
Plans
Yesterday I picked up a print of my wife's photography; today I have to deliver it to Tel Aviv. From there I can take a train to Beit Shemesh and a bus to the point. I'll take a bus or train back to Jerusalem, whatever is more convenient.
Expedition
I took the shacharit train to Tel Aviv, then a bus to the art gallery and dropped off the print. Then I walked back to the train station (no need for a bus if I'm not lugging a print around) and took the train to Beit Shemesh.
The train had to stop in the middle of the route for a few minutes due to a delay up ahead, so that meant I missed the bus that would've dropped me off directly at the point. But there were other buses that took me close; easy enough. Bus to Shimshon Junction, walk past the IKEA into the industrial zone, and look for the point...
As I approached I got a bit worried: the satellite image showed the point was on a white strip that went north-south between the two buildings. I thought that was just pavement or possibly rubble filler. But I'm seeing in front of me piles and piles of some kind of tile-like thing. Am I going to have to ask permission to stand among them? Or worse, climb on top of them?
Turns out I didn't need to at all. The satellite image was off; way off. The point was on the *other side of the street* from the tiles, right up against the wall of the opposite warehouse. I took my usual panorama, walked back to Route 38, and took a direct bus to Jerusalem.
After two straight failures it was good to have an uncomplicated success. But my legs are killing me; I'm glad the point is inaccessible tomorrow, I can take a break.
Photos
Proof
Panorama at the point. The satellite imagery claimed the point is on the other side of the grey fence - easily 10 meters away or more.
Piles of tiles where the satellite imagery thought the point was.
