Expedition
Success! This area wasn't too far of a drive for me. As you can see it is on a power corridor. This particular corridor has a well maintained gravel path. The nearest access to onto the path was at the end of what may be a private road? There was only one house right near the end of the road, but it did continue about 50 meters past the house. I parked in an overgrown "lot" of sorts filled with weeds that reached as high as my hip. I kept an eye on the house for a while to see if anyone would come out to greet/question me. No one came so I hopped over some tall grass and onto the trail. It was HOT. We've been having some pretty warm days and all was good in the shade, but in the middle of the corridor on a sunny day... let's just say I'm glad I had my hat. It wasn't that long of a walk, ~300m. The flora along the sides of the trail was very tall, much taller than me, I was worried I would have to climb on into these weeds, but when I got near the location there was a PERFECTLY placed offshoot trail. There were some frogs on this trail hanging out by the edge of a large puddle. As I approached they let out an adorable, "Meep" and jumped into the water. I paced around for a bit looking to get as close to the location as I could, and eventually I was there! I snapped some photos and went on my way. I've gotta say this was a fun experience, both going to the location and documenting the trip!
