Location

The corner of Logan Park, in the Alderwood Manor neighborhood.

Participants

Plans

Visit at lunchtime if I haven't heard from anyone else.

Expedition

Loaded up the dog and punched in the GPS, which chose a bit of an unusual route. Still, I enjoyed driving down a road I've never been on before.

We parked north northwest of the hashpoint, investigating the park area first. Alas, dogs were not allowed on the playfield, but we will had a bit of fun wandering about. Then we headed east, towards some steps which lead... to the hashpoint?

Turns out no, the steps lead up to the tennis court. There was a path leading close to the retaining wall separating the park (and the hashpoint) from someone's house. I boosted Lucy up onto the wall and she was the first to reach the hashpoint.

Alas I did not bring chalk, which would have lasted awhile on the wooden wall.

We then returned towards the car, where I discovered Lucy had picked up a tennis ball - perhaps near the court? Another man's trash is another dog's treasure!

Finally, we finished lunch off with a visit to Spud, a Friday favorite.
