Location

Right eastbound lane of I-96 between Knapp and Leonard streets, Grand Rapids, MI

Participants

• Mcbaneg (talk) (George)
• Susanne
• Rebekah

Expedition

On the highway, in the right-hand lane. We had visited friends for an Easter meal and made a brief detour on the way home to pick this one up. Susanne drove, Rebekah sat in the back seat with camera to demonstrate cruising speed, and George rode shotgun doing repeated screenshots to demonstrate progress. We got on the highway near our friends' house, drove west (actually north along this stretch of highway) past the hashpoint to the next interchange, exited and re-entered eastbound, and cruised through the hashpoint in the right lane. Judging from the satmap George and Rebekah, on the right side of the car, probably passed right through the hashpoint.
