Location

This one is located near the corner of Dundee Road and Buffalo Grove Road in Buffalo Grove, IL.

It is on an access path for a cell tower. Behind a real estate office.

Participants

Phil and Mary a co-worker

Expedition

Discovered that the location was close to work. We drove over after lunch. Pretty easy.

From TJAMM

When Swoop2 said where the location of this geohash was, it took all that I had not to run right then.

It was like a FTF (First to Find) for Geocaching! :-)
