Location

North of Hwy 26 near Hillsboro's Liberty High School

Participants

Jiml (talk)

Plans

The idea was to go by after work.

Expedition

I carefully programmed the GPS, and after work on my way home started for the hashpoint.

Then the GPS died. I though "No problem - there's a reason why I carry extra batteries for the GPS." Except the extra batteries didn't work either. Nor did any pair of batteries out of the multiple sets that I had. Apparently they had gone dead sitting in my bag.

So, I gave up and headed for home. I'll try for the hashpoint some other time.

No batteries? :-)
