Location

300m west of the Pacific Crest Trail, 200m east of Morena Stokes Valley Road, and 400m southwest of Buckman Springs Road

Participants

LucasBrown

Plans

Drive out along SR67 and I8 once the day cools down a bit

Expedition

Currently at home, waiting for the day to cool down before attempting the hash. Today's attempt came vey close to not happening due to a kidney stone, but fortunately the episode did not last long. -- LucasBrown @32.9769,-117.0528 13:40, 11 August 2012 (PDT)

Upon reaching the wash containing the hashpoint, the weather had become somewhat inclement—thunderstorms with light precipitation and a temperature of about 30°C. The lightning would interfere with the GPS signals and was frequent enough that my phone couldn't get a good-enough bearing on my position to yield an error of less than 100 meters or so. I called it good enough once I had a reading that put me within 60 meters of the hashpoint.
