Sunday 29 June 08 This may be the easiest access to a hash site we have had, yet! It is in a Trussville housing development. Go South at the Main Street traffic light in downtown Trussville on S. Chalkville Rd. -- after Queenstown Rd. intersection the name changes to "Roper Rd." It is only a couple miles to the subdivision. BE THERE!! Update: Skunked again! Nice homeowner gave permission to cross his lot into the woods behind the house. Quickly became as yesterday, no machete, bug repellent, etc. prevented penetration into the brush. Best access is off Scenic Ridge Dr., unless you want to hike in along the railroad tracks from out at Roper Rd. --N76Lima
Saturday 28 June 08 Today's site looks VERY reachable, off AL 174 between Branchville and Pell City. It appears to be nearly on Hearth Stone Dr. Update: Well, not exactly. Got within a couple hundred feet of it, but it is densely wooded. Bring a machete and your mosquito repellent. :-( --N76Lima
27 June 08 The hash site is almost within sight of the 23 June site at Logan Martin and I-20. This time it is on the North side of the freeway, and best accessed from Exit 158 and then going East towards the water. Looks like some residential development in the area, so it might be an easy walk from the street into someone's yard. The area looks cleared of trees on the satellite view. --N76Lima
26 June 08 Today's hash site is local to Birmingham residents. A little bit of tromping through the woods looks to be needed. Just off I-459 (Hwy 280 exit is closest), possibly in a creek bed. --N76Lima
25 June 08 Today's hash site looks very reachable. Just off I-65 at Mt. Olive Rd, it appears to be in a residential subdivision less than 3 blocks from I-65. --N76Lima
23 June 08 Today's hash site is in the water of lake Logan-Martin near the I-20 bridge at Exit 162 east of Pell City. Lacking a boat, I am not going to try for this one. --N76Lima
