Location

Smack dab in the middle of Range Road 180, just South East of Smokey Lake, Alberta.

Participants

Plans

Another trip back from work at Christina Lake: Phi-loci-raptor was nice enough to research the possible hash points in the between 55,-110 and 53,-113 while I was sleeping and found this gem of a hash. My official excuse for napping was to be rested for the drive after working the night shift, but in reality I was just waiting for the Dow Jones to open. After a long string of false speed racer hashes (damn OS4) I had to triple check that the location was actually on the road, and not another snap to road fiasco.

Expedition

This was a very easy hash that I couldn't pass up. It was only an 11km detour from the highway home, and a nice drive through harvest time wheat fields was is good for the soul. Fully wicked sick bro, one more virgin Albertan graticule for me!

Starting line
80 km/h is the maximum speed limit for non-primary highways outside an urban area (unless otherwise posted)
Action shot of my hair blowing in the wind.
Proof!
