Circling the golf course, we noted a general lack of golfers. There was plastic covering what might have been water traps, and the green was deserted.

Location

Golf course in the Lynn graticule. Some lovely beaches nearby.

Plans

  • Phyzome: I have no constraints, and Jiml is in town...
  • Jim's enthused about visiting another graticule, but is not enthused about swimming when it is well below freezing...

Participants

We have made plans! Planning to be at the hashpoint around 2:00 PM, give or take a half hour. Driving from Somerville area.


Expedition

And we are on our way! Jiml 19:10, 18 December 2010 (UTC) and Phyzome, at Blue Shirt Café.

We headed out on Route 128 / Interstate 95, looping around to the north to avoid traffic. The trip was fairly uneventful, though Phyzome was kept busy in the passenger seat juggling a GPS receiver, a BlackBerry with intermittent data access, and a digital camera with snapshots of the route.

Circling the golf course, we noted a general lack of golfers. There was plastic covering what might have been water traps, and the green was deserted. From Crossman St, where we parked, we could see a family playing with their dogs in the distance. There were steps leading up to a break in the fence. Clearly, no need to ask for permission to go onto the green -- this looked more like a neighborhood park than an exclusive course.
