Expedition

Headed down to Kentridge High School for a meeting at 6:30, which means fighting traffic no matter when I go. Leaving at 4:30, I hoped to make it to the area before full dark - a forlorn hope.

Scanning the satellite map, I saw an entrance gate (for maintenance vehicles, or maybe for those golf carts) just north of the hashpoint, so I aimed for that. A missed aim, as it turned out - the gate was closed and, while not marked "no trespass", was still marked "employees only". Probably too late at night for them to hire me.

What the fence also lacked was a pedestrian pass through of any kind - if you slice that much, I guess you just lose the ball.

Closest I can get -- Thomcat (talk) @47.3323,-122.2113 18:03, 25 January 2016 (PST)

Drove north and into the entrance, noting I was over 500 m from the hash point. While I didn't look for "please feel free to wander our golf course at night" signs, I also didn't relish a walk on damp fairways after dark. Marking this one a failed to reach, I continued to my meeting.
