Participants

Plans

We're going to attempt to get out here for the 4pm Saturday meetup. Might be a bit late, but we're certainly going to give it a good shot!

Expedition

We were a bit late heading out to the hashpoint, and it was almost dark by the time we reached the vicinity. Largely, this was a combination of dense cloud, rain, time, and northern latitude. (We weren't more than an hour late, if that!)

Got turned around several times, due to a mismatch between my GPS maps and the actual layout of the roads. Google Maps was more correct, but wasn't able to be accessed from my phone, so we had to stop and pull out a phone that had a working data plan in order to figure out where to go.

And wouldn't you know it, there's a big PRIVATE PROPERTY sign there! :( No hashpoint for us today, it seems...
