The point was located in the middle of a river. With my trusty kayak and pirate gear, I set out to explore these (semi)uncharted waters!
The entry point to the river at a bridge down the road was much harder to get to than it seemed on the map, as the banks to the river were high and steep. Arrived at the point, but found I couldn't get a steady shot of myself and the GPS, so I decided to take one of the back of a house visible on the google satalite images for proof. Made landfall at the nearest point and got out the Pastafarian pirate flag to claim the island. Better photos coming later when i find the cable for the camera.
NOTE: the current map has issues, I've set lat off by -1 to compensate.
