Expedition

The expedition went pretty smoothly! It was beautiful weather, and about 15 miles each way by bicycle.

One minor snag on the way there was that google maps's bicycle navigation took me on a "shortcut" through a nature preserve with rough unmarked trails, some of which were blocked with downed branches from a recent ice storm. I ended up doing some backtracking and crawling through brush to get around blockages.

The hashpoint was at a playground, which was also a trailhead for another small nature preserve. After getting a video of myself juggling for the circus achievement, I hiked the short trail. There were several marked caves along the trail with plaques describing them. The caves themselves were guarded by fences and metal grates.
