Location

Around the back of a lot in Sde Moshe. Multiple satellite images all have an unusual number of cars parked there, so it might be a store of some kind, though there's no store listed at that address.

Participants

Yerushalmi (talk)

Plans

Shacharit train to Tel Aviv, switch to a train to Kiryat Gat, take a bus to Sde Moshe. Walk to the point, walk back. Do the reverse to get home.

Expedition

Shacharit train to Tel Aviv, switched to a train to Kiryat Gat, took a bus to Sde Moshe. Walking to the point, it was clear that the area was agricultural rather than commercial - so I did what I always do in such situations, which is pull out my headphones and play my podcast on speaker so that nobody thinks I'm trying to sneak around.

I needn't have bothered. The agricultural buildings were all completely abandoned; contrary to the satellite photos, there wasn't a single car parked in the area. Unfortunately, however, the satellite imagery was off; the point wasn't actually in the parking lot but in the dry riverbed. And there were a *lot* of thorns between me and the riverbed itself.

I circled that portion of the riverbed until I found an entrance that was more gently sloped and had more rushes than thorns. The inside of the riverbed was thankfully thornless, so even though I came in from the farther bank (from the north) the point was much easier to reach. I was at the point before 10:30am, one of the earlier geohashes I've achieved.

I had an hour to kill before the bus arrive, so I ate lunch and watched clips from *30 Rock* in a local park bench. Bus to train, train to other train, train home.
