Location

In a park behind a public school in southwest Scarborough.

Participants

Frogman

Expedition

The hashpoint was easy and close, so I went. After my class got out at 6pm, I took the train to Main Street station, waited 15 minutes for the bus #20, and took that to the hashpoint. The only other people there were a man and his dog, who were on a walk, urgently, as it was very cold out. My fingers hurt from being out of my pockets for long enough to take pictures! I need to invest in new gloves, probably.

Photos

A nearby school
A nearby playground.
The back of a nearby school.
I made it to the spot, and stood there!
A very dark selfie. The selfie is dark because it was dark outside.
Also it was cold.

Achievements

I got the two "easy, if you live in Toronto" achievements:

Frogman earned the Frozen Geohash Achievement

by reaching the (43, -79) geohash on 2019-01-10 while the temperature was -7 °C.

Frogman earned the Public transport geohash achievement

by reaching the (43, -79) geohash on 2019-01-10 via TTC.
