Location

The point is near Edmonton International Airport, beside a driveway off the Range Road immediately west of the airport restricted area. Reconnaissance for a previous geohash on the same road and Google satellite images suggest that the location is accessible on unfenced cropland, expected to be unplanted stubble at this time of year.

Participants

  • Robyn hopes to be here around 12:00-1:00 p.m.

Expedition

Yes, I made it. Both the point and the flight. Details and proof later.

Slightly over a year later

I just found this unfinished report. I still remember it fairly well. It was right across the rural behind-the-airport street from a no-trespassing hash the previous year. I drove right past that site, pulled into a long farm driveway on the other side of the road and stepped a few metres into an unplanted, unfenced field for the point.

Then I returned the rental car and checked in for my flight.
