Expedition

I headed there on my way home, but the expedition didn't go well.

First, we had to program the GPS, which I had never gotten around to the entire day. Then, everything started running out of energy: The car was running out of gas, so I needed to back track to take care of that, and the batteries on the GPS started dying, and the sun set, resulting in very little light for wandering around on Pumpkin Ridge Road, and I started running out of energy.

So I gave up and went home. Maybe I'll try again over the weekend.
