Revision as of 19:49, 12 November 2009

Location

Elgin, IL, in the backyard of a private residence.

Participants

Jachim

Plans

While at work, I noticed that the day's point was very nearly on my way home. Unfortunately, it would be in someone's back yard. But, I decided to do a drive-by of the point. I also realized that I would be able to make it to the point and back home without crossing or retracing my path, thereby completing the Tron achievement.

Expedition

I left work and almost forgot not to leave the way I arrived. Luckily, I turned the way and took a short detour around the block.

It was too dark (almost 7PM), so I was not able to take any pictures.

Achievements

Jachim earned the Tron achievement

by reaching and returning from the (42, -88) geohash without crossing his own tracks on 2009-11-10.
