Go by in the evening on my way home

Expedition

I was thinking I would head there after work, but the frozen and icy conditions rendered going to work not a clever choice, so I worked from home - luckily I had my computer at home from last week.

In the evening I went off to run some errands before it got too cold and icy. I got the tasks done, but decided to be a little adventurous and tried a new route, using my GPS to help guide me. Unfortunately, I missed the first 7 in the coordinates when I entered them and the GPS was sending me to someplace up in the hills 3 miles from the hashpoint. I kept trying to loop back towards where I knew the hashpoint was, but it kept pulling me off. Finally, I stopped and recheck the programming and fixed the problem. Then the GPS told me "3 feet", because I had stopped on the hashpoint!

It turns out that I knew exactly where the hashpoint was when I saw it on Google Maps because a group I'm part of used to meet near here a few years ago, and I'd sometimes drive through this driveway to get there. So this probably counts as a Deja Vu.

I took a picture of the GPS, but it was dark out, so nothing else was going to work.
