Plans

I literally just came up with the plans around 17:00 because I remembered that today's hash location is on a street in a street grid neighbourhood, so I could achieve Tron, Speed Racer, and No Batteries. I planned to take the following directions:

  • west out of my neighbourhood
  • left Hilton
  • right 8 Mile
  • around-then-right Evergreen
  • right Vassar
  • hashpoint
  • left Burt
  • left 7 Mile
  • left John R
  • left Woodward Heights
  • right Lenox back into my neighbourhood

Expedition

Pretty much as planned, except that I had to take a detour due to a train parked on the tracks at the level crossing on Hilton south of 9 Mile. The detour was as follows:

  • from SB Hilton/9 Mile
  • left Troy
  • right Bonner
  • left Saratoga
  • right Farrow
  • left Academy
  • right Wanda into Bennett
  • right West End
  • right 8 Mile into previously planned route

Also, a car turned left across my path at NB John R / State Fair, and one merged into my path at NB John R / Hazelcrest. Thankfully I was able to avoid crashing into both cars.
