Plans

This one is too close to miss. Plan to walk there on my lunch break.

Expedition

When my lunch break arrived, I set out on foot. I first met some friends to actually eat lunch, but since the place we met was aproximately on the way from my office to the hash, this was fine. After eating lunch, I continued on foot towards the hash. The walk to the hashpoint was relatively uneventful, and the hashpoint itself was easy to reach, being in a parking space at the Morrison Park Apartments. I arrived there, and took a few pictures. Then I went to hang up a geohash marker (one of the posters from http://geo.crox.net/), at which point a man wearing an ID badge identifying him as working for the company that runs the apartments came up to me and told me that "You can't hang things here", and then scowled at me until I left. As I was walking back to my office, I passed by a building with a sign reading "Raptor Research Center", which was within a few hundred feet of the hashpoint. I looked around for signs of raptors, but fortunately did not find any.
