Expedition

Arriving from the west after unlocking 44 -94 via 2024-11-10 44 -94, I was optimistic about my chances with this one. I knew it was located in a building according to OSM, but maybe the building feature on the map was misaligned, or maybe I could enter the building (home to trucking and logistics companies, by the way — this is, after all, on a frontage road in the U.S.) somehow... Anyways, I saw a cool train engine(?) on the way, but upon arrival it became clear I would not be reaching the true hash site today. I got as close as I could by looping around the north side of the building, but no dice. Well, something to log at least!

On my way back I took an interstate cloverleaf exit to 'turn' 'left' (you get what I mean) and accidentally crossed over my own path — darn it! Like 3 hours of careful Tron driving all dashed thanks to a single interchange! Ah well. No multi-hash or Tron achievements today, and my first unsuccessful expedition. C'est la vie de Geohashing.

This barn had seen better days.
Train fans, rejoice!
The true hash site is somewhere in there. RIP.

Looking northwest from the parking lot.
Looking east to (and past) the point outdoors that's the closest publicly-accessible spot to the hash.
