Location

Off of the path in Forest Park.

Participants

• Frogman and
• Alison and
• Frogman's grandpa

Plans

We planned on going on a nice hike in Forest Park and seeing if the hashpoint was easily accessible (despite Forest Park's stay-on-the-trail policy).

Expedition

After a pleasant hike, we reached the proximity of the hashpoint. While we passed within 50 meters on the east and west and within 100 meters on the north and south, we determined that the hashpoint was inaccessible even with our slightly lax interpretation of the stay-on-the-trail rule. The hashpoint was definitely physically accessible, but too far off of the trail and in dense vegetation. Even though the expedition was thwarted it was nice to get out of the house and on this beautiful trail.
