Since it was actually on the road, and dark, and cold, I thought it best to go for (frozen) Speed Racer. Unfortunately my cell phone and I were not up to the photography task, so I have no usable pics to show. I drove westbound along Richmond St, and tried to shoot pictures of two 30-mph speed limit signs as I went along (white blurry rectangle), one shot of the graveyard (black), one of the speedometer showing 31 mph as I went by (unintelligible sea-anemone impression from lit dial and car vibration), and one shot of the street sign at the nearby intersection with Walker Ave(vague green blurry rectangle). So it's a total loss in the expedition-photos department. | Since it was actually on the road, and dark, and cold, I thought it best to go for (frozen) Speed Racer.

Location
North (westbound) side of Richmond St. by Holy Cross Cemetery, Grand Rapids, MI, USA
Participants
Expedition
Like 2014-01-02 42 -85, too easy not to go for: actually on a road, close to where the bus drops me during my commute home. This is just a little west of our first Michigan hash at 2013-08-17 42 -85.
Since it was actually on the road, and dark, and cold, I thought it best to go for (frozen) Speed Racer. Unfortunately my cell phone and I were not up to the photography task, so I have no usable pics to show. I drove westbound along Richmond St, and tried to shoot pictures of two 30-mph speed limit signs as I went along (white blurry rectangle), one shot of the graveyard (black), one of the speedometer showing 31 mph as I went by (unintelligible sea-anemone impression from lit dial and car vibration), and one shot of the street sign at the nearby intersection with Walker Ave(vague green blurry rectangle). So it's a total loss in the expedition-photos department.
Photos
Speed limit sign, clearly reading 30 mph.
Shot of speedometer going past hashpoint, clinching Speed Racer.
Street sign at the corner of Richmond St. and Walker Ave, just west of hashpoint. Incontrovertible evidence that I got to the right place.

Temperature record from nearby station KMIGRAND34, showing -11 °C at 6 pm. Yes, it's sad that the best pic I have was cropped from a Weather Underground screenshot.
