Reporting in after a slushy traverse this afternoon. Better slush than bitter bitter cold. This time I took a still camera and recorded the traverse. The result, narrated after the fact, is here, or on YouTube at higher resolution here:
It was distancing from the experience to be recording it, which is useful to note. I was paying attention to timing the pictures, to holding the camera, to making sure the resolution was right. It's harder to dance the map when you're worried about fiddling with stuff, but then that's true with anything: worry makes work stiffer and more removed.
I chatted again with a couple of folks, again no-one knew the line was there. Perhaps because it isn't.
Later in the afternoon I found a PDF of the line in Minneapolis that was provided me by the city GIS office a couple years ago. Here is a raster version of the relevant bit:
If anyone wants the PDF version, let me know. I think this gives me what I need to start contacting residents and building owners.
Anyone want to join me in January for round 3?
