Report

Finally, after a barren weekend we were glad to find a Geohash relatively close to home...and a Virgin Graticule to boot! The trip was relatively uneventful as we headed out right after work into the dark countryside south of Rocky Mount, NC.

We looked hard for a slushy/slirpy/squishy vendor..but to no avail. We could find the ice cold carbonated beverage part...but not the frozen part.

The Geohash was located in a cornfield surrounded by single-wide trailers. Fortunately, the ground had dried out and we did not have to trudge through mud. After a few photos we headed back north, passing the only sign of wild-life we encountered on the whole trip.
