Apr. 2nd, 2020 01:08 pmLast night, we went to Kensington Metropark so that Cordelia could get some driving time (and some night time driving time!) and so that Scott and I could walk a bit. There were a few people exiting the trail when we were in the parking lot, so we loitered until they passed.
There were a number of unclaimed Ingress portals nearby. We probably didn't spend even 20 minutes walking, and a lot of that was us standing and placing resonators. Scott also recorded the sounds from one of the ponds we passed. I'm assuming those were frogs.
That was about as long as Cordelia was willing to wait, and it was true dark by then. Cordelia took the long way out of the park (the road's a loop).
I wish that I had a way to get to some of these places on my own. I'd like walking new trails, both for the novelty and for the Ingress portals.
Right at the moment, Niantic, the company that runs Ingress, has changed the rules so that it's easier to play without going outside. They're counting recharging resonators, which can be done from a distance, toward the Sojourner badge in place of hacking portals which requires getting within a certain distance of the portal. They've decreased the length of time between hacks of a single portal (usually 5 minutes) to 90 seconds and raised the number of hacks a person can make on a portal before it burns out to 16.
