Expedition
The Plan
Just off Decoy Road, which is also on the way to a separate hash. Take a minor detour from that path, park at the nearby church, and walk to the rest.
The Geohashers
The Adventure
This one, I was admittedly on the fence about visiting. It's just off the roads and in the wooded section, but in this neck of the woods, that quickly turns into overgrowth, marshes, and private property. Additionally, with the storms recently, the marshes are now marshier. Still, it was close enough, and I could make out a trail or something similar from Google Maps, and it was on the way to another hashpoint, so why not check it out?
I parked at the Decoy Baptist Church, and I have a feeling that they've heard every possible decoy joke already. When I hiked over, there were two immediate problems; there was a locked gate, and in the overgrowth, a barbed wire fence. The hashpoint seemed all but on the fence, but I got close enough for GPS inaccuracy. I took my pictures and continued on to Eustis.

A tame example of why I don't frequently go off the road.
I was a bit surprised, didn't appear to be in use.
Looking into the overgrowth.
Mirrored owl sculptures on the fence.
Yeah, didn't bother shaving.
