Plans

I have plans in the evening, I will have to get up there after 8PM.

Expedition

• That's walking distance from my house, and it's more or less in a park to boot! If I don't take a shot at this, you can revoke my geohasher's license. -- Jevanyn 13:00, 08 December 2011 (EST)

• I have an errand to run nearby the hash this afternoon, so I will attempt to give this a shot. Google Earth does not show any 'formal' entrance signage to the park from either Vogt Drive, which is to the East or Knollwood Drive, which is North. spindizzy 15:09, 08 December 2011 (EST)

Got to the hash around 15:00 EDT. Approach from Vogt Drive was not practical. The actual park entrance is at the end of Peter Par Road where there were two unpaved parking spaces. Good thing I thought to wear my Sorel boots because the park was a mudfest, topped off with a heavy garnish of wet, slippery leaves. Had to be careful where I stepped because I could feel my boots sucking into the mud and I did not want to fall into the slop.

Followed my GPS indications, but I couldn't stand on the exact hash because it appeared to be on the other side of a small stream that was surrounded by a machete-worthy thicket of spiny bushes. I took some photos and left a marker impaled on one of the bushes...the needles came in handy. Will figure out if I was close enough and post photos later.

Tried to Google Peter Par to find out what his significance is, but nothing seemed to jump out as being relevant.
