Location

Plans

When I noticed the location in the morning, I figured I'd go by in the evening on my way home.

Expedition

In the evening, on my way home from running errands, I went by the hashpoint. I'd printed out the map, but it was pretty straight forward. In fact, I think I've had a hashpoint on that road before.

As expected, it was right in the roadway. I hit 7 feet without even leaving the car, so I came at it again with the local speed of 30mph for a speed racer. (It's a quiet street with Ag land on both sides and no driveways right off TV Highway, so this was pretty safe.)

I took a photo of the GPS, as it was dark, and headed home.
