Participants
Plans
Yeah, right... Found out early in the afternoon that an after-work appointment would be nearby, and that today's hash would be right near my appointment. Coincidence? :-)
Expedition
Easy enough to stop for a few minutes along the way. Found a reasonable parking lot at the end of a stretch of gravel road, and concrete paths off into the woods. Still distinct enough to follow on my Centro's Google Maps.
A while later, after some puddle jumping, I approached the foot bridge over the impending creek. Not planning on a long stop, I looked around for the best landmarks to photograph for the "unique enough to triangulate well" plan... The footbridge is the best, a nearby riverside gazebo the next best, and the third photo being the patch of loose waterlogged brush that _IS_ the hashpoint to within a couple of feet.
... and an uneventful hike back through the woods, into the truck, off into the sunset... or home, anyway.
Photos
The footbridge NE of the point
Yes, this really is a gazebo under the river glare overexposure...
Brown = paydirt!
