Planning
Appears to be easy adventure, by vacant lot on frontage road of busy urban highway

Execution
First known non-birthday expedition in the Pensacola, FL graticule - done solo.
Arrived 1909 CST - 39 minutes late - time enroute 59 minutes
- Delayed - attention diverted by shiny objects at Crestview
- Too bad northwest FL and AL are both in same time zone
- Otherwise could have arrived before I left Crestview
No worries enroute or during navigation to specified point via satellite imagery
- Few meters off clearly defined city street
- Encountered some very light rain enroute
Alas the location occupied only by relatively heavy passing traffic
- No evidence seen to indicate any geohasher had been here today
Needed logistics run to do photodocumentation
- Viable AA battery supply had reached zero balance
- Navigation gear was required only for documentation and now running on potato wagon power
- Contrived xkcd sign and posted on nearby real-estate sign as notice to other hashers
- Trekked to Dollar Tree (tm) store in shopping center a mile or so south to resupply AAs
- On return I made a low pass in burner - blew through the point at speed limit 45 MPH
- Then back around for full stop about 12 meters north to complete documentation using newly acquired AAs.
Mission successfully concluded without casualty or further incident
