Saturday afternoon we put on our geohashing boots and set out to find the target. On the way there we saw lots of empty corn fields and more than a few grain elevators. North of the target, across the road, was a quarry surrounded by "No Trespassing" signs and hidden from the road by a small man-made hill.

Expedition

Saturday afternoon we put on our geohashing boots and set out to find the target. On the way there we saw lots of empty corn fields and more than a few grain elevators. North of the target, across the road, was a quarry surrounded by "No Trespassing" signs and hidden from the road by a small man-made hill. I defied the law by climbing to the top of the hill and taking a picture. Afterwards, as no authorities appeared to prosecute my wickedness, we continued on to the geohash.
