The hashpoint was directly accessible by car, according to Google Maps. With no reason to disagree, I pointed my jeep in the appropriate direction, sans GPS (which I don't actually have). I left Rocky about half an hour later than I intended, due to unranked Rocky Mountain College Battling Bears defeating no. 12 Concordia College 72-64 in the NAIA National Tournament quarterfinals. Also, I had attended a memorial service earlier that day so was still in formal attire.

Looks like this will be a Speed-racer no batteries geohash! I'm excited! Especially since approaching the hashpoint from the south brings you to a stop sign, so I might qualify for the dubious award of "Slowest Speed Racer"!

The Expedition

Sat 21 Mar 2009 in Billings:

Maybe it's a good thing I need a new camera...

The hashpoint was directly accessible by car, according to Google Maps. With no reason to disagree, I pointed my jeep in the appropriate direction, sans GPS (which I don't actually have). I left Rocky about half an hour later than I intended, due to unranked Rocky Mountain College Battling Bears defeating no. 12 Concordia College 72-64 in the NAIA National Tournament quarterfinals. Also, I had attended a memorial service earlier that day so was still in formal attire. As Jevanyn points out, this is James Bond.
