About

Hash point was located in a dirt field being prepared to host a future housing subdivision. It was located near Whaley's Corners, at Winston Churchill Blvd. and Steeles Ave. in Peel Region.

Expedition

Splitdipless

The point was very close to Highways 401 and 407, but also remote enough that public transit was not available. So I set out from HQ in "Em", my car.

Travel to the site was easy enough, and I parked on the dirt shoulder on Steeles Ave. Satellite on Google suggested a farmer's field with house nearby, but initial visual inspection indicated a future housing subdivision. Field was fenced off, farmhouse was abandoned and boarded.

Unwilling to trespass to reach the point, I went for something to eat instead. Numerous eating establishments found south of Highway 401 on Winston Churchill Blvd. Tacos where consumed. They where delicious.
