Expedition

Ironeagl (talk) After seeing that this hashpoint was accessible I decided to make the drive a bit more interesting and attempt the Tron achievement. I set up a route in my GPS and set out Friday evening. On the way to and from the hashpoint, I:

  • Saw a lot of trees and farmland
  • Passed by an active railroad-attached granary
  • Crossed paths with several police vehicles, although they did not prevent me from reaching the hashpoint
  • Nearly died because I mistook a one-way stop for an all-way stop
  • Slowed down for about 10 deer in 5 separate groups
  • Puzzled over a "YIELD except right turn" sign (turning right, I chose to stop)
  • Found a "Speed limit 25 when flashing" sign without a light to flash
  • Visited the 2022-09-17 42 -86 geohash for the second time

All in all, an adventurous expedition!
