Location

On westbound Vassar Drive halfway between Fielding Street and Patton Street, in Detroit's Evergreen Lahser 7/8 neighbourhood.

Participants

Alison (talk)

Plans

I literally just came up with the plans around 17:00 because I remembered that today's hash location is on a street in a street grid neighbourhood, so I could achieve Tron, Speed Racer, and No Batteries. I planned to take the following directions:

• west out of my neighbourhood
• left Hilton
• right 8 Mile
• around-then-right Evergreen
• right Vassar
• hashpoint
• left Burt
• left 7 Mile
• left John R
• left Woodward Heights
• right Lenox back into my neighbourhood

Expedition

Pretty much as planned, except that I had to take a detour due to a train parked on the tracks at the level crossing on Hilton south of 9 Mile. The detour was as follows:

• from SB Hilton/9 Mile
• left Troy
• right Bonner
• left Saratoga
• right Farrow
• left Academy
• right Wanda into Bennett
• right West End
• right 8 Mile into previously planned route

Also, a car turned left across my path at NB John R / State Fair, and one merged into my path at NB John R / Hazelcrest. Thankfully I was able to avoid crashing into both cars.
