Location

On a highway northeast of Cle Elum

Participants

Thomcat

Expedition

I got out of town much later than I had planned, but an advanced gander at my trip across the state showed one geohash that would be on the way.

Looks reachable! -- Thomcat (talk) @47.6857,-122.3238 08:28, 29 September 2016 (PDT)

I plugged the coordinates into the Prius map and went for a 125 mile drive. Once I was close, the geohashdroid app showed the point to be considerably off the road, which was interesting. See below for an example.

Reaching the Prius coordinates, I stopped and parked nearby. The coordinates and map and arrow all lined up, and the green "you're there" light was given. Another success for the Wenatchee graticule!
