Expedition

Hic Sunt Laganum

On Friday, we checked the points for the whole weekend and Sunday's looked great! It was right on the side of route 531 which we drive regularly. Red Velvet was hopeful we'd find a tracklog including the route. Angel Food wasn't sure we would have bothered turning the GPS on so close to home. Fast forward to Sunday, which was a beautiful & productive day cleaning the garage & mowing the lawn. Later, close to 8pm, Angel Food starts to close some open windows on his computer and finds the hash map... uh-oh! He's leaving to go out with the guys in mere minutes! We plum forgot to hash! Have no fear, Red Velvet is here to defeat the kitty. She checks old track logs and finds that our very first hash trip includes driving route 531. Bravely driving with just the beep of the GPS to tell her when to pull over, Red Velvet reaches the point on the busier than expected express way. Distance from in the car 18 ft to point & 15 ft accuracy. Not close enough for a picture yet. Two steps down the bank from the car & it's a fantastic second déjà vu! Then home again, home again, to write this page.
