Location

It is on the south side of Purdue's campus. The satellite image shows construction, so I hope that that is an old image... Purdue always has some type of construction going on.


Participants

Buttercup

Plans

This one is less than a mile away from my home, so it should be an easy get! The only thing I am worried about is construction... I will walk there from my home after lunch!

Expedition

I finished my lunch and headed over to the south side of campus. It started drizzling while I walked and it got really windy. When I got near the area, I saw that the construction had been "finished" and there was now a gravel parking lot! The satellite image showed obstacles, so I was excited because I wasn't going to be blocked by a fence.

The GPS on my phone isn't the greatest, so it takes some time to figure out just exactly where I need to go. All in all, it was a nice walk and I didn't get too wet from the rain!
