Plans

My friend is having his bachelor party at a campsite in the Finger Lakes so I will again be camping this weekend in the Ithaca Graticule. The hash has landed right at Cornell University in a very accessible place. Potentially with nerds and geeks all over, I need to find some chalk and maybe get some people at least a bit curious. I will stop at the hash in the morning on my way to the campsite, likely around 11am or so.

Expedition

Driving out to Ithaca was uneventful, and I found my way through campus without difficulty. I was able to find parking very close to the hash, but the closest spots were all marked handicapped. Even though I was only going to be 5 minutes, I parked in a loading zone spot instead just down the road.

Being summer there weren't many people around and fortunately a bit of construction was happening. I grabbed 4 rocks for the hash poster since it was pretty windy. I couldn't find chalk so I printed the crox poster to leave behind.

Walking up to the spot there were some potted plants and benches and I found the spot quickly next to the first potted plant. Not wanting to leave the poster on the ground at the exact spot, I put it on top of the garbage cans that were close. I got my pictures and headed to the campsite in Hector, NY.

Hopefully someone will see the poster and at least check out this page.
