Location

The point is in the woods between some subdivisions and a sports field. Access is best by Marrett Rd. May or may not by private property, but it is secluded and not in someone's yard.

Plans

• Phyzome: I live in Arlington Center, so this is a quick jaunt up either the bikeway or Mass Ave. I can meet up with other hashers pretty much any time Saturday. 11:00 AM is not going to work -- I just got up @ 10:15. Contact me if you want to coordinate, otherwise I'll probably do the 16:00 thing. I have an event in the evening, but afternoon works for meetups.

Update 14:06 EDT: Sara is sending her dad to meet me near the hashpoint!

Because this hashpoint is at my junior high school, I really wanted to participate, but I couldn't go in person because my children would have been really mad if I had made them ride in the car for several hours to get there.

Expedition

Phyzome

Success!, but RIP GPS receiver. Full story and pics tomorrow.

Sara

I'm sorry to hear about the demise of your GPS receiver, Phyzome.

My Dad said he met Phyzome and they went way into the trees, into a patch of poison ivy and reached the hashpoint and that it was raining "only a little bit". He seemed to have enjoyed himself. Unfortunately I forgot to tell him to bring a camera.
