Expedition
The weather ended up being warm and rainy. It was pretty nice.
I took the 185 from the Jerusalem city entrance to Neve Ilan, northeast of the hashpoint. From there someone guided me through his house to a trail that led to the tunnel underneath Highway One to the correct side of the highway. I walked around the village of Shoresh until I arrived at a trail. I followed Google Maps down the trail until I reached the closest point on the trail to the hashpoint before I would need to start bushwhacking.
Surprisingly bushwhacking was a lot harder than I thought. When I saw it was on a slope I tried to walk down below the slope so that I could attack at the unknown while walking up rather than walking down. There were small 1.5 meter terraces to climb and the foliage was thick enough that I had to crawl at some points. The GPS wasn't so quality so I had to do a lot of dancing, of course also on slopes and terraces. The hashpoint ended up being in a pleasant and I was able to get a screen shot and a selfie by the time my battery died.
I climbed back to the trail and then walked back to highway the way I came. Right before the entrance to the highway there was a gas station with plenty of drivers. I found someone who was going to Jerusalem and easily hitched back.
