Location

Behind the Walgreens at Horseshoe Bend Rd. and State St. in Eagle, ID.

Participants

Eldin

Plans

Visit the hash because it was too easy to pass up.

Expedition

I drove to the hash. I left a poster. I took pictures. Not a terribly exciting expedition. In retrospect, I probably should have bicycled to this one. But I got a later start than I'd hoped due to work, and the route there isn't terribly bicycle friendly.

At the hashpoint now. Easy one today -- Eldin (talk) @43.6811,-116.3124 18:43, 15 May 2013 (MDT)

NOTE: It has been pointed out to me that the photos uploaded via the Geohash Droid app show a distance of over 400ft from the hash. I can not account for why they show this, but please see the 'proof' picture for the coordinates I was seeing when I was there. And based on both OSM maps and Google Satelite imagery, combined with what I saw while I was there, I am highly confident that the coordinates displayed on my phone's screen are accurate, while the coordinates displayed on the photos are not.

Photos
