Expeditions
Thomcat
3:00 saw me filling my tank, but made it to the spot by 3:30. South of the indicated house was another, and this spot was a short hike off their driveway into heavy trees, sticker bushes, and spider webs. I had a devil of a time getting satellite reception, and at one point stood still for 5 minutes waiting for signals. I have two GPS photos - one on the longitude, the other from last point I had reception.
Parked on the driveway
Dense foliage
43 meters away, reception spotty
22 meters away, all reception gone
technology failed me!
I didn't have a measuring device with me, but I don't think I traversed more than half those 22 meters. Even if I had, I wouldn't have a GPS photo to prove it. I'm going to assess this one a failure of technology (although Mother Nature shares the blame).
