Location

On the shoulder of County Road 12 N in Buffalo, MN

Participants

My girlfriend Brooke and I

Plans

Leisurely drive on a Saturday afternoon up to Buffalo, MN.

Expedition

We were busy early in the day but managed to take off around 5pm from Plymouth. W reached the spot along the road a half hour later. We parked in a field inlet and walked down the road to the exact spot. When surveying the spot from google maps, it didn't look like there was much there, but there has been a lot of construction and the subdivision across the road is pretty built up! A fun trip even if Brooke did sleep the whole way there ;).

Tracklog

I really wanted to have proof this time, so I used MyTracks on Android to trace our path. I included a couple of screen shots below.

Photos

by reaching the (45, -93) geohash on 2012-04-07.
