Location

On Yellowhead highway, just west of Edson. (actually 150m south of the highway)

Participants

B cereus

Plans

On my way back home for casing break, I saw that there are drive by hash points here and in the adjacent graticule.

Expedition

I successfully speedracered the hash and got a Slurpee at a nearby 7-11. A couple days later though, I discovered that the hash wasn't where my iPhone said it ways, and the 7-11 was 1.2km outside the 5km limit for Geosquishy ribbons. Google maps app now snaps the Geohash app output point to roads, after OS4 update for the iPhone. The actual hash point is 150m south of the false point. GAH... At least I got a sweet ass Slurpee.
