Location
Near the junction of Hwy 45 and Hwy 78.

Plans
The location looks fairly easy to reach, so I'm going to try to be there by 4pm to count it as making an official meetup, though unfortunately I doubt anyone else will be there.
Expedition
Made it to the coordinates without much dificulty, though due to a combination of factors didn't get there until about 4:15. The area where the hash was located is the "Hemmingway Butte OHV Open Play Area", an area set aside by the state for use by riders of off-rode motorcycles, ATVs, and similar. There were a number of people around the area, most of them riding motorcycles. Many people rode circles around the hash today, but it was located at least 15m from the nearest trail, so it's likely that nobody else actually reached it. I got some funny looks being out there on foot. It wasn't cold, but it was rather windy, which made it feel less warm than it was. It was about a quarter of a mile walk from where I parked the car.
