Expedition

From yesterday's hashpoint about 25 minutes east, we departed at 11:46 pm headed for this one, and with no wrong turns got here between 12:10 and 12:15am: two hashes, two different days, within half an hour of each other.

Hashpoint was at the side of a residential street. We drove around the road loop that surrounded the local park, drove back down the street on the side where the hash was at what felt like it ought to have been the correct legal speed, then parked and walked back for photos. A teenage kid kept peering out between the window blinds at us, first from her living room and then from an upstairs room; we smiled and waved but got no return gestures. Oh well...

The park had some cool sculptures in it at our end.
