Location

In the woods North of Ashford, NY

Plans

While the hashing gods did not make things easy, this hash looks somewhat accessible and not too far from home. I've been anticipating this hash all week since it is my Birthday. My plans are to head to the hash after a nice lunch and park on the closest main road since there will be lots of snow around. I really don't want a repeat of the last expedition and I checked for ditches in potential parking places. I look safe from that at least. I hope the snowbanks are pushed back enough to park though.

As long as parking is not an issue, I will walk the short distance down Bird Road to the train tracks which I will walk down to get closer to the hash. The area looks a bit swampy but with all the REALLY cold weather we've had, I think the area should be pretty frozen over. As long as the ice holds up and there are no posted signs, I should be able to reach my first B-day hash. Perhaps I can actually make it at 4pm too for my first official Meetup(Time-wise anyway since I'm the only hasher in the graticule).
