Dogpatch Map

A couple things to point out for those of you who aren't familiar with these spots:
>ReSources is a great place to find used anything. It's like a gourmet junkyard / treasure hunt.
>Heron's Head is a beautiful little hike in the most unlikely of places - right across from a power plant. I walk this trail with my dog everyday, and to my great delight, over the past year, they've turned off the power plant and it's slowly coming down. Definitely worth checking out.

The rest is pretty obvious, let me know if you're looking for a certain spot for any project you may have in mind, and I'll brainstorm for you. ~Meghan
