Location

Today's location was behind a fence in Pickering in a community west of Frenchman's Bay.

Expedition

Splitdipless

It just so happened that I was planning on driving past Pickering today to visit my parents for the weekend, and also because I left a Waldorf Salad in the fridge at work in Pickering as well. So I hopped into 'Em,' my car, and drove to across the street from the point.

Satellite imagery suggested that the point would be by some trees, so I stopped my car when I got near some fairly big trees. Then I noticed the fence surrounding the property. I walked up and down the fence, sticking my GPS over the fence at points, but eventually found a point along the fence that was within the accuracy of the GPS for the point.

I took some pictures, but now that I'm at the parents place, I have no idea how to get them from my camera to their computer. (Also, I'm not used to typing in Qwerty, so sorry if there are any typing errors. I knew I should have brought my laptop.)

Pictures will have to wait until later.
