Location

In the woods between Rt. 8 and Outlook Ave.

Participants

Expedition

We decided to make this stop while on a Geocaching and antiquing trip through the mountains. When we reached Outlook Ave., we realized that the walk would be a bit longer than we thought. But we had come that far, so we had to continue. After crossing through a field, we came upon a clearing made for the gas pipeline, and followed it to the area of the hash. Then we cut off the clearing (for only a few hundred feet) to get into the vicinity. Success! And we never crossed any No Trespassing signs, so we're calling our expedition "legal."

Photos

The field we crossed.
Our free passage through the woods.
A panorama of the geohash spot. The woods were beautiful.
Obligitory.
Proof. The phone was well within it's accuracy field.

Achievements

SlumberBear earned the Two to the N achievement

by attempting to reach 2¹ hashpoints on 2016-02-19 42 -73 and is promoted to Level 1 (Expeditions).
