Vladimir/GetLost!!'s Los Gatos Street Scramble
Run ~10 days after the real event - thanks to Vlad for getting me the maps!
Ended up getting off work later than planned, so I started around dusk, and finished well after dark, with headlamp.
S-39: Close, easy, oops I have to loop around (right) noticed before any wrong turn. Spalding.
39-52: S, E, N, E & up. Pretty spot. 3278? (memory fading, 5 busy days later)
52-51: Darn, I see the XX's, so I guess running through the hills is out, so back down near 39/start, and back up. Buttons.
51-not 46: East to the 'driveway', followed the wrong one at first (down to left) then back up after that hit dark green, followed the right one, then hit a solid chain link fence while feeling like I was trespassing, as it was getting dark, so bailed back past 51, replanning - ~10:10 lost (per GPS).
51-25-36: So no more hills. Headed back close to 39, and picked up 25 (Callahan), then 36 (185? memory... :( )
36-23: Wasn't sure I'd have to come in from the west, but aimed around that way, and it worked. 2-5. (Good I'm tall to see that one.)
23-43: Looped around block to the S (oops ~:30, I see now) wait for traffic in the dark... then out the right road to 43. 2.
43-24: N, then E. Description read to sneak right in btwn. buildings. Rock.
24-38: N to near 35, decided no time for that, then in to 38 from the North. Holiday decoration no longer present.
38-F: Realized no short exit was available, so quite glad I'd skipped 35. S, W, S, then E to the finish.
87:05, 3 minutes to spare. 290 (I think)
Not the most successful run by any means, but still a great way to get a workaround, and some views from the Los Gatos hills.
