Location

on the 99 near pavilion lake (between cache creek and lilloet)

Participants

Wijnland
Rogier
Maarten

Plans

go by there for a speedracer on a long weekend trip to the thomson and cascades. (lytton, Merrit, kamloops, pemberton, vancouver)

Expedition

We camped at Juniper beach provincial park just east of Cache Creek, and after breakfast we left for lilloet and further to go for a hike at the joffre lakes trail. The geohash was on our route there, so we did not even have to cover any extra distance. After turning of the 97 we had no traffic on front of us, so we could maintain a steady pace at the speedracer maximum distance. The best shot of the gps showed 15m as the minimum distance, but we likely came a bit closer and at these speeds I consider this coordinates reached!
