Location

A cornfield in Toluca, Illinois.

Participants

RocketMac - On his way home from St. Louis, MO.

Plans

Every time I drive somewhere for work, I check the route for possible hashes along the way. Depending on timing, I could actually mark off the last two graticules for my Minesweeper award!

It'd been a long week of work and I wasn't getting on the road until after 5pm, so it was going to be pushing it.

Expedition

I left St. Louis in the late afternoon and started homeward. My first stop was another crack at a Geocache called Night Signals. I ~~wasted~~ spent some time on that and then started my GPS tracklog heading for the hashpoint.

Other than being a bit out of my way, I made it with no problem and took some pictures. Added one more stop for my Minesweeper award and was on my way.

Tracklog

You can follow my tracklog in GPX and KMZ formats.
