Expedition
I didn't expect success, but after I got off the train home, I got in the car, programmed the GPS, and headed for the hashpoint. I had printed out a Google map, but hadn't bothered to take the time while sitting on the train to actually program the GPS.
The route was pretty easy, as Maple was a fairly major street. I had to recheck the map a few times to make sure I was headed correctly, but it all worked out.
I pulled up to about where the hashpoint should be, looked at the GPS, and it said 25 feet! Success without even getting out of the car. Apparently the hashpoint had drifted from being in the middle of the house. Not the first time I had seen that.
It was too dark for anything else, so I took a photo of the GPS and headed for home, relieved I wouldn't have to think about knocking on a door kinda late at night. The trip home was a tad daunting, as I don't usually go home over the hill in the dark, and during that trip I remembered why: it is very winding road!
