It was a greenspace, and right next to a gated community. While that neighborhood was liberally blocked, the greenspace was not. In I went, although a bit after my 6:00 estimate.

Thomcat

It was a greenspace, and right next to a gated community. While that neighborhood was liberally blocked, the greenspace was not. In I went, although a bit after my 6:00 estimate.

Fortunately, the stickers gave way to larger trees, and I found the spot.

Exploring further, I found that this was a couch potato hash for somebody. Didn't meet them, but I did find the easier way in and out of the spot - a break in the fence.

Back to the car, I got one more shot and then headed north. I'm sure the heightened Air Force presence was merely a coincidence...
