Location

In a field near an industrial park

Participants

Jim

Plans

Head there after work

Expedition

Expedition one

The first time I headed out for the hashpoint, it proved to be a very short trip. It turned out my GPS had no happy batteries, and I didn't have any spares, so I gave up.

Expedition two

I decided to head out there a couple of days later at lunchtime. I could probably have walked, but decided to drive instead. It might have been faster to walk, as I had to try several different areas before I could finally find a place where I could park.

I ended up parking at a nearby park and then walking on the trail that happens to go by the hashpoint. It looked like it was close to the trail, but I had to go through some low brush to get to it, but the hashpoint itself was in an open area.

I then headed back to my car and to work.
