Hezekiah

Hezekiah plans to make the trip down after a late dinner, probably arriving around 9.

Expedition

RocketMac

I stayed at work a bit later than was anticipated, so my plan to get home and grab The Wyf for a visit to the Gingerbread House was out. Sadly I was most of the way there before I remembered to start my GPS tracker. Again.

Instead I drove to the hashpoint which was right outside an Ace Hardware superstore and wandered around the field which was sloped up from the parking lot until I was confident I had walked through it. I took a few pictures even with the sun stabbing me in the eyes and off I went.

After that it was a quick stop at the grocery story for stir-fry ingredients and then home to a pleasant dinner with wine on the patio.

I had to work until 8, meaning I got home around 8:15. Ate some dinner and gathered what little gear I needed, and was on my way. Arrived close to 9:00 PM, headed into the field. Unfortunately, saw no evidence of RocketMac's earlier visit. Did spot a plastic bag (which I filled with other garbage), and left a rock upright, in case anybody else arrived later.
