Sunday morning, Kate's off and the hash is close. It looks like an adventure. It is very close to a paved road, but up here, first of July, maybe the road's open, maybe not.

[edit] Expedition

Sunday hash is 13 miles beeline from home, 27 miles on the odo. Kate was off today so we had an outing. Passed a line of bicycles humping up the hill. The 350 yards of unpaved road at the end of the drive was open, so it was only a short walk into the woods. Of course under the canopy gps's started drifting. I took both the DeLorme and the iPad to compare the two. The iPads display briefly had the Lat right on and the Long .000002 off but drifted before the photo. I left a flag if anyone goes up this afternoon.

The end of the drive.
Kate's going cross-country.
Just a little ways up the hill.
The X is the programed hash, the arrow is where I'm at, the circle is the GPS precision.
I left my crepe paper.
No wonder the GPS's drift.
This is a screen capture of the PN-20 track plotted on the DeLorme Topo USA software. It is 200 ft from 'park' to hash. The blue circle is the hash location as entered, the yellow are 3 waypoints dropped while there.
The ipad track. The green dot line is the beeline back to my home, 12.8 miles away.
