I was doing a walk today and had another issue. It was the same building I wrote about earlier where I got the wrong code for the lockbox and had to go through ridiculous loops to get the walk done. Today, I got the keys from the lockbox and found that the exterior door locks must have been changed or something. I tried all the doors all over the building and it didn't work on any of them.

I was frustrated. I was going to have to contact support yet again. Then I paused. I considered options. I said "Screw it. I'm tired of having to get help on these things even though it's not my fault. There must be a way I can get in here. It's not like I've never snuck into an abandoned building to take photographs before."



And there we go. It hardly took 15 seconds.

When I walked the dog, I stuck a piece of cardboard in to block the gate latch. I was ready to climb in again if necessary but it was there when I got back. The dog was wonderful and I had a great time with her, so all is well!

I posted more Pike Creek photos today. This one is a portion of the creek that flows through the Washington Park Municipal Golf Course. It's also another one that I think turned out rather nicely.





We sneaked in through an open and disused gate at the top of the embankment leading down into the course, pushing our way through the thick undergrowth toward the water.

What most caught my eye here was the placement of the willow trees. Their even spacing clearly indicates they were part of landscaping, but by their size they've been there a long time!

I wonder if this golf course floods when Washington Bowl floods. They are the same waterway after all, both in a depression, and quite close to each other.

(My copy of John Henry, replacing the one that disappeared in my move, arrived this week and I'm listening to it. It's a really cool thing to be listening to music that I know so well that I can sing along with it while still having my brain free for typing up posts and photo processing!)
