The quest
Sassafras Point faces the last light west of centre, Hamilton. The quest is standing still until three lights stay on after the sun.
Steps
- Arrive at Sassafras Point twenty minutes before sunset. Stay on public ground — not a bike lane, not a road deck.
- Watch until the disk is gone. Name three lights that stay on.
- Leave the way you came. Do not climb railings or cut through private docks.
Why this is on the board
Sassafras Point is one of the spots west of centre, Hamilton where Hamilton actually faces the sky. You get the last colour of the day and a few minutes of standing still a patio will not sell you.
Safety. Public ground only. Map data goes stale — if a rail, hour, or closure disagrees, leave. Not a guided tour.
