Expedition

Four years ago, the 2019-02-03 45 -123 expedition involved a scenic farmland run out of the town of Amity. Today's hashpoint, a few miles away, looked fairly marginal-but-possible, and also offered me an opportunity to take a drive in the country and revisit that old run.

On the drive out, I eyed the hashpoint area from the road; it was down in a ravine, and looked like it might well be pretty darn swampy this time of year, possibly even in a pond; also, it exposed to the highway but with no convenient place to pull over. I decided to defer the decision on whether to try for it until after I ran.

It turned out not to be possible to actually replicate the run, as the bridge west of Amity is closed for repairs. But, I was able to mostly replicate it, or the best parts anyway.

After the run and filling the gas tank, I headed back towards the hashpoint site, at which point it began to rain heavily. "Eh, hell with it," I said, and headed on home.
