Location

On the southeast side of Rochester, at the edge of Eastwood Golf Course, along the thirteenth fairway. Easy and unquestionable access either by walking across the bare unbuilt housing lots from the road or by playing the back nine of the golf course.

Participants

• Mark plans to be there and is working on plans for Rhonda to join. We are considering golfing it, for the golf achievement, around the time of the 4:00 meetup. Schedule to be determined, so send me a message if you would like to meet up. Greens fees are $11 for just the back nine if you'd like to join.
• Rhonda will work fast so she can get away early enough for a 4:00 golf game.

Expedition

Rhonda

I managed to get away from work about when I figured I would, which happened to be right about the same time as Trane phoned to find out what time I would be able to make it. After I had signed out and was outside the security gate, I stopped the car and changed out of my stinky work grubbies into more normal clothes. Didn't want to golf club people to refuse me entry for showing up in torn, paint-splattered jeans, after all. I didn't know what kind of standards they had.

After a bit over an hour on a highway, which I spent mostly counting down the mile markers to the exit I wanted and singing along with the choruses of those songs I recognized on the radio, I reached the Best Buy parking lot where we were supposed to meet. I found the emptiest spot of the parking lot, and looked around for Trane's car, which wasn't there. So I got out, stretched my legs, got cold from the wind, got back in the car, and saw Trane drive up. Woohoo! another meetup!
