Location
Hillsborough, near Six Mile Run.
Participants
Plans
Jevanyn: My initial recon indicated that there was a freight train line, which would have made it a relatively easy geohash to reach.
Expedition
Kyukket: Here's what I got...
- Those weren't train tracks on the map - they're power lines...
- I wasn't going anywhere near them...
All I have are a few pics from the nearby intersection and a coordinate reading.
(There wasn't even a street sign to get a pic of =( )
Photos
Overhead power lines (not train tracks)
Closest intersection
GPS has an accuracy of what?!?
Edit: Kyukket's explanation for the wild GPS range was that his phone was triangulating from cell towers, not acquiring the location from GPS satellites.
