Expedition

Only about 5 miles from home, and apparently accessible: couldn't pass it up. It was bikeable but I was unable to leave home until 8 pm, and on the bike it would have been dark by the time I arrived, so I drove.

I was able to park in a pleasant neighborhood about 270 m from the hashpoint. The approach was to the west along a power-line right of way that was mostly grassy but in places swampy. When I needed to turn south through a clearing toward the hashpoint I found that its first 30 meters were one giant puddle. I was able to go a little further to the north and west to get around the puddle, and then go south through brush and rejoin the grassy clearing where it was dry. I saw a couple of whitetail deer run through the brush but was not fast enough to get a photo. The hashpoint was easy to reach a couple dozen meters above the creek.

On the way back I saw fresh deer tracks all over the place, including ones probably made by the deer I had seen.
