Location
underneath a sycamore tree near the tennis courts of Union High School, Grand Rapids, MI, USA
Participants
Expedition
Too easy not to go for: grounds of a still-on-holiday school, easy to locate from features on the satmap, and very close to where the bus drops me during my commute home.
I had no problem finding the spot, though I only had my cell phone for pics, and no thermometer. I was there from about 4:50 to 5:15.
In lieu of thermometer, I offer (1) a self-portrait with ice in mustache and (2) the temperature record of weather station MC5506 at (42.97, -85.72) which shows -10.5 degrees C at 5 pm.
Three sycamore trees clearly identifiable at hashpoint on satmap (though in the current Google/Peeron image they still had leaves), shot taken looking north. The hashpoint is just west of the middle one.
View to east from hashpoint, showing line of tennis nets that indicate correct latitude.
View to southwest from hashpoint over school, 4:51 pm.
Similar view from slightly SW of hashpoint, 4:56 pm.
Highly biodegradable hashpoint marker.
Stupid Grin, with icy 'stache.
Temperature record from nearby weather station.
