Location

parking lot of an apartment complex near the Grand River southwest of Grand Rapids, MI, USA

Participants

Expedition

I checked the coordinates as I was leaving work, and the hashpoint was easy to reach and only a few minutes from my car. So I delayed going home for a little while and checked it out.

The hashpoint was on the dividing line between the 5th and 6th parking spaces on the east side of a street in the center of a two-row apartment complex. I got there just at dusk, and the pics from my $10 phone in those lighting conditions are pretty crummy, but they're what I have. It was easy for a no-batteries with an error of less than a meter because of the very convenient parking lot stripes.
