Location
Golf course in the Lynn graticule. Some lovely beaches nearby.
Plans
- Phyzome: I have no constraints, and Jiml is in town...
- Jim's enthused about visiting another graticule, but is not enthused about swimming when it is well below freezing...
Participants
We have made plans! Planning to be at the hashpoint around 2:00 PM, give or take a half hour. Driving from Somerville area.
Expedition
And we are on our way! Jiml 19:10, 18 December 2010 (UTC) and Phyzome, at Blue Shirt Café.
We headed out on Route 128 / Interstate 95, looping around to the north to avoid traffic. The trip was fairly uneventful, though Phyzome was kept busy in the passenger seat juggling a GPS receiver, a BlackBerry with intermittent data access, and a digital camera with snapshots of the route.
Circling the golf course, we noted a general lack of golfers. There was plastic covering what might have been water traps, and the green was deserted. From Crossman St, where we parked, we could see a family playing with their dogs in the distance. There were steps leading up to a break in the fence. Clearly, no need to ask for permission to go onto the green -- this looked more like a neighborhood park than an exclusive course.

It was cold out!
Dogs on the green...
...and steps. I think we're clear.
More like a park, really.
