Location

In some woods across from a cemetery!

Participants

MayorOfBoxTown

Plans

Going to drive by after work to see if it's on private property, and if not, come back later fully prepared...

Expedition

It was private property... :(

Mayor drove down after work. It was pretty easy to find. There was a fence about ten yards south of the road, and it had private property signs every 100ft or so. The hash was a stone's throw past the fence, so there wasn't really any point going around the property to check it out some more.

Google maps showed a cemetery nearby, so I thought I'd check it out. I drove past a really shady looking driveway and then... wait. That was the cemetery?? I changed my mind quickly; I did not want to check it out. I instead drove home quickly.

Also there was a discarded toilet on the side of the road. Yaaayyy Mississippi.

Photos

The road there.
The cemetery. Part of me wishes I had ventured in.
The proof of failure.

Achievements

MayorOfBoxTown earned the No trespassing consolation prize

by almost reaching the (34, -89) geohash on 2012-03-13.
